It's "Back to School" time!

Hi, kids!

How was your summer vacation? Good? Relaxing? Fun? Mine was great!

A new school year is here and that means (= significa) lots of  motivation to learn and lots of work for you and me. We will have (= teremos) our normal lessons with a new and nice book and also our CALL lessons. And then I hope you finish the 2008-2009 school year with the same comments that you made (= fizeram) on the last day of school in June.

Have a great school year!

Hugs from your "crazy" teacher

Summer vacation is here!

    Dear kids,

School finished last Friday, June 20, after a long and hardworking year. It's time for a well-deserved vacation at the beach, in the country (= no campo), anywhere in Portugal or abroad (= no estrangeiro).

I hope you all have a wonderful time and send messages to say what you are doing.

Hugs and kisses from your "crazy" English teacher

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!

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
