Spooky Halloween

This week we are celebrating Halloween.

One of the most famous songs that comes to mind when thinking about this time of the year is "Thriller", by Michael Jackson.

In this video you can watch both the original and the recreation:

New beginning

Last year I was working in IES Gacía Morato, in Madrid.

This year I am working in IES Luis de Góngora, in Torrejón de Ardoz.

I will not erase the contents for last year, but I need to modify some sections so that his blog can be useful for my new students.

I hope some of the contents will still be useful for my old students.
