America and its flowers

(Jacquie Lawson.com)

Yesterday João from 5A sent a link to this beautiful e-card about the flower of each of the American states. It's beautiful and... it's a learning moment! Thank you, João!

What is the flower of New York (East coast or Atlantic side)? And what is the flower of Oregon (West coast or Pacific side)? Why am I asking these questions?

Well, as you know, I was (= como sabem, eu estive) in New York City the first week of April and didn't know the flower of the state. Now I know.

This weekend I have two friends visiting me and Lisbon. They are from Oregon. NowI know the name of their state flower. 

Click the image and see the different flowers. At the end you can click on the bottom left (em baixo, à esquerda) to see each flower more carefully.

Enjoy!

Happy Birthday, Bruna!

    Hi, kids!

It's Bruna's (5B) birthday today and we sang (= cantámos) Happy Birthday to her in class this morning. Listen to our fabulous voices and pay attention to my question at the end.

Enjoy!!!!

I'm back and... finally posting

Hi, kids!

I've been so busy since April 7 (=tenho estado tão ocupada desde 7 Abril) that I haven't had time for this blog.

My trip to TESOL 2008 in New York City was great. My presentation about the CALL Lessons 2005-2007 blog < http://call05-06.motime.com > was very nice and teacher Larissa (photo below) from Siberia, in Russia, invited me to do an online workshop this summer for her teacher trainees. I'm very excited!!!

I also had colleagues from Thailand, El Salvador and Argentina.

Hugs from your English teacher
