New Class Blogs!

Welcome to old and new students alike! This is our shared space, and I am looking forward to learning about the new group of students here on blogger.com. As you can see, I have changed the links on the right side of the blog. I have the new student links listed at the top and the "pro's" lower on the page. Feel free to leave comments on each other's blog and on mine too! If you are having any trouble and need to ask a question, don't be shy to ask for help. Post a message or send me an email, and I'll be happy to help.

Each week, students are expected to write a "page" in their blog. You can follow the suggestion in the text-book for ideas, or you can write about other things that interest you... but you MUST write!! :) Putting your knowledge into practice is the only way to improve your writing skills. You can see how the students who wrote frequently really improved as the semester progressed, you will too! Also, it is a fun way to share your stories and photos with family and friends.

I have a question for you. What is the most enjoyable thing you have done here in New York since you've been here? What would you recommend to the new students? Please post a comment and respond if you have any good ideas.

Happy New Year!!!

Hello everybody! Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. Welcome back to a green??? New York City. What happened to the snow? :) This is the oddest winter I have experienced here yet. Do you know that my husband was golfing here on January 6th? Unbelievable!

Our vacation was fantastic....! Mexico was relaxing and beautiful, we had fun swimming in the sea, trying new food and exploring the area of Puerto Vallarta. Everybody was so kind and helpful. We had an amazing view of the sea from our room and watched the most spectacular sunsets each evening.

After Mexico, I went to Canada to visit my mom and family. It was wonderful! I spent some quality time there, and it felt good to be home again. Mom and I spent hours chatting and getting caught up.

Now I am back in NY and happy to be back at work once again. I am teaching EBS and a writing workshop this semester. I am looking forward to it very much and to adding new students on my blog links.

hmmmmmmmm....Do any of my old students have any advice for the new students? :)
