Teaching Jobs Andalucia
What should I send in a care package to a good friend that recently moved from Tampa, Fl to Spain?
My good friend recently got a job teaching children English in a small city of Baeza, Andalucia, Spain. He has lived in America his entire life and is leaving all of his family and friends. It’s a big transition for him, so I want to send him a comfort package. I just have no idea what to send him in the care package. Please help me out. Any advice is welcome!!
Outahere2day had wonderful suggestions.
If your friend likes candy, get items that cannot melt. You don’t know how hot the package might get, and you don’t want candy to melt.
His family can tell you what his favorite homemade cookies would be.
Pics are a faulous idea.
Since he’s a teacher, you might want to send some things that kids the age of his students might find interesting that come from the U.S. and may be different from what they have in Spain.
Some well known English Children’s books would be great. When I studied French, the BEST books I had were ones printed in France and imported to the U.S. So books printed here would be a real asset to him in his classes. Again, go according to the age of the students he’ll be teaching. This will give his students a glimpse into American culture as well as help them study English.
Magazines for children printed here in the U.S. are also a good idea. There are some really fantastic children’s magazines.
Ones I would recommend include: Highlights for Children, Cricket, Time (for Kids), Boys Quest, Discovery Girls, Pack O Fun, Sports Illustrated for Kids, Boy’s Life, Girls Life, Children’s Digest, Junior Scholastic, National Geographic Kids and Weekly Reader.
