Isabel - Portugal

Hello everybody!!!!!!

My first name is Isabel and my surname is Costa. I´m a kindergarten teacher for 30 years and I´m 53 years old. I was born and I´ve studied  in the north of Portugal, but I´m living in the south of Portugal.
I work in Guia´s parish (in the Algarve), that belongs to the city of Albufeira. The Kindergarten has 75 children divided in 3 rooms and we are 3 kindergarten teachers, Our kindergarten belongs to a group of schools, named “Agrupamento de Escolas Albufeira Poente” that includes 2 kindergarten (ages 3-5/6), 3 Primary Schools (ages 6-9/10), 1 Basic School (ages 6-15/16) and 1 Secondary School (ages 15/16-18). These schools are situated in different locations, that means 4/6 km from the main School in Albufeira.
I´m very happy to join this team. Unfortunately my English is not so good, but I will ask our headmaster if one of our English teachers could help me during this project with the translations and communication (now is a friend of mine who is helping me).
Last year I cooperated  with a team as a drama teacher in a comenius project and I loved it.
I like challenges and to meet new people and new countries.

My e-mail is i.costa@sapo.pt.  Facebook is the same address.

I have a blog that is  http://viagemjardimguia.blogspot.pt/

My best regards

Lavinia - Romania

Hello everybody,

 

I’m glad to know you all and I hope we’ll have the chance to know each other better meeting face to face.

My first name is Lavinia Ocsana, my family name is Palaghianu and I say Hello to you from Romania. I’m a primary school teacher (I can also teach at the kindergarten), and this year I teach children of 5-6 years old in the preparatory class at Şcoala Gimnazială Ioan Băncescu Adâncata, Suceava, România.

I’m 39 years old, I’m married and I have a 15 year-old son Şerban. I live in Suceava, a town in the north of the country, 450 km far from Bucharest the capital. I commute to school every day which is 15 km far from my home town Suceava. Our school has 500 children in all (kindergarten, primary school and secondary school), but here where I teach there are 70 kindergarten children and 139 primary school children.

We had a Comenius project in 2008-2010 and we had the chance to meet wonderful people and see interesting places. I’m fascinated by discovering new things.

I had to admit that I’m not very good at English, but I have a reliable help, my colleague, the English teacher Dana Alucai, who is also a close friend of mine. I work with the practical part of the project and she helps me with translations and communication. We are making a great team together! She hopes and I also hope to meet each other soon.

Talking about this project, we had several meetings where we have been trained concerning the new Erasmus programme and this week I’m registering the school and I’ll get the PIC code.

 

All the best from Romania!

Lavinia and Dana
