This blog has been designed to provide information about the activities held at the social studies bilingual sections in CPI Tino Grandío (Guntín,Spain). The English language and Social Studies teachers have elaborated most of the resources you can see but our "auxiliares de conversa" also have their own page and posts. Therefore everyone is invited to have a look .

Taylor Matherly´s Spot

06/06/2013

Hi students! My name is Taylor and I will be your new "auxiliar de conversa" for the next year. I'm 22 years old and am from the  city of Durham in the state of North Carolina. I have also lived in the mountains in a small town in the state of Virginia. Both North Carolina and Virginia are in the south-eastern US. I went to college at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) and love my school's team, the North Carolina Tar Heels. My favorite Tar Heel sport is basketball. I also enjoy watching and playing baseball. In college, I studied sociology and linguistics. Last summer, I studied at the university in Sevilla. I traveled a little bit, but this will be my first time in Galicia! Since I have never been to Galicia before, do you have any advice for me before I arrive? What are your favorite and least favorite parts about your village? I'm so excited to meet you all!

- Taylor

Here are a few pictures of where I'm from:


^This is Durham, where I was born and lived for a long time.



^Here's a map of the US with North Carolina highlighted.


^Like I said before, I love my university's basketball team. This is a picture of one of the most famous Tar Heels, Michael Jordan, when he went to school and played basketball for UNC.


^ Finally, here's a picture of me with my parents and younger brother on the day I graduated from college. My brother decided to be funny and wear my graduation hat for this picture.
