Hello everyone! 
It has been a busy, productive, and successful couple of weeks. November has flown by so quickly... can you believe we are now entering the last month of the year???

November was all about illnesses, injuries, identifying symptoms and home remedies. Thank you for being so diligent in submitting your assignments and working with your groups. Congratulations to the afternoon Listening/Speaking students for completing their home remedy presentations and participating in our joint project with MCC Community Connections.

Please check out your friends' home remedies that they shared in the videos.

Hello November!



Hello students! I hope everyone is healthy and doing well. 

November is here! I trust that the time change will be good for everyone.

Fall is the start of cold and flu season, and because we are still in the midst of a pandemic, it's more important to be cautious, to be well and to follow government health guidelines.

For this unit, we are going to be focus on the topic of Health. I would like to hear how you keep yourselves and your families healthy. I would also like to hear you share some remedies, with me and other students, that people commonly use in your culture. I look forward to hearing them.
