Week of March 29-31, April 1

Hello everyone,

This is the last week of our session (January to March) and yet, it includes the first week of the new session (April to June). And we even have a holiday on Friday on occasion of Good Friday. Enjoy the day off!

This is usually a week of celebration and one in which we also watch movies and relax a little bit. But it is different this year. 

There is work to do on Error Correction exercises, which are your teacher's favourite!

Week of March 8-12, 2021

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all doing well. This week we will enjoy nice spring-like temperatures that, although they will not stay, will allow us to spend time outdoors for a short bit.

This is the last week before March Break. Next week we will not have classes and your teacher will not post any learning materials. 

We will run assessments when we come back - The week of March 22-26.

Lastly, we think on March 8th of the women in our classes.  💘💚🌹🌺🌻🌼 

We celebrate International Women's Day, as we recognize your valuable contributions to our classes, and we are thankful for your presence in our school.

Week of March 1-5, 2021

Hello everyone!

March is here! It is hard to believe that two months of the year are already gone and now were are enjoying nicer weather and Spring is coming soon, hopefully. For the next couple of weeks, we will focus on Giving and Receiving Advice. There are many things we can explore on this topic. It should not take much time to build up and before we know it, we will be able to have assessments, mostly on familiar topics.
