Mi primer blog

¡Hola! Me llamo Montse.

Hace unos meses decidí poner en marcha una idea que llevaba varios años rondando en mi cabeza. Aunque con 17 años no sabía muy bien a qué quería dedicarme y opté por estudiar Ciencias Empresariales, años más tarde me di cuenta de que lo que realmente me gustaba era ser maestra. Así que por fin estoy en ello y he empezado estudiar el Grado en Educación Primara a través de la UNIR.

Al mismo tiempo, un par de veces a la semana, doy clases particulares de inglés a niños de 6º de primaria. El inglés es otra de mis pasiones.

En este blog me gustaría compartir con vosotros algunas de las actividades que realizo con mis alumnos. Espero que las disfrutéis.
