Happy New Year! 

I hope you all had a good break. Have you made your New Year´s Resolutions already? 

These are some of the most common ones among teenagers:

British Council had very conveniently posted this lesson plan by Helen Hadkins on their facebook page and I think it is perfect to practise some more.

• I’m going to spend more time speaking in English
• I’m going to do exercises every day
• I will try to think in English more

THANKSGIVING

One more year my students are going to learn about Thanksgiving and they will have to write about gratitude.

But this year I want them to watch this moving art video by Louie Schwartzberg . I am sure that after seeing it, they will all understand why we must be thankful for living every single day, not just as another day, but as the one that is given to us as a beautiful gift.

HAPPY SUMMER HOLIDAYS!

YES!   Here again,  It seems time flies!

We teachers and students are now celebrating all the hard work we have done as another school year comes to an end.

After months of Edmodo assignments, studying, reading, doing integrated tasks, written tests, homework , oral presentations, singing, dancing,  and speaking tests, most of you are looking forward to forgetting about your school books and are obviously excited about your summer holidays ahead.

For all that , I think we all need some relax, so ...

BUT.... summer and reading have gone hand in hand, for me at least, as long as I can remember. For this reason , no more compulsory reading, but just reading for the pleasure of it. Besides, there are a wide range of benefits gained from reading for pleasure: It increases a sense of achievement, confidence and self-steem. It encourages your imagination. It prevents boredom. And you can do it anywhere.

 Find out here how to be a better reader and the importance of reading when learning a language. 

 And now click on these pictures and enjoy.

      

 

 Keep in touch, please!

MANY KISSES !!!
