FALL IN QUÉBEC

 ...and a good SUNDAY morning

        to all my ESL students!

I’m writing to you from the summer cottage

I have been renting for the past four years.

The scenery is incredible

when the fall colors are at their peak!

It could not be any more colorful!

It is chilly outside but the orange,

yellow, and red leaves warm up the ‘air’.

What an incredible and awesome sight!!

The Canada Geese are also very present.

Their distinctive calls can be heard overhead.

I think they are saying:”Let’s go, gang!

We are flying South for the winter.”

They are so brave to travel 'there and back'

every year of their lives.

The only words I can think of right now are:

MOTHER NATURE!!!

We are lucky to have such wonderful sights

to look at and admire for each

and every season of the year.

Now about the classes!

I have met all of you this week:

all five groups and just over sixty students!

WOW! The English classes are becoming popular!

And I am so pleased with the groups.

I have my 'work' cut out for me:

from beginners to conversation!!

I also have some really good news to share with you.

After a lot of negotiating, I finally scored

an early delivery of all the dictionaries.

So I will be able to show you

how to use them at our next class.

I will prepare a few activities to help you

"find your way around"

and get you started using it!!

NOW ... Don't forget to get familiar with

all your new documents.

And spend some time classifying them in your binder.

It will make things much easier

if we all are 'on the same page'.

Also please explore the TOOLS offered on my blog.

right here ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE

They are there to help you

with the different aspects of learning!

So I am going to stop here,

for I could easily go on and on!!

I'll see you in class this coming week!
