“Blogging also has been a great experience for me because it is an effective way to gain knowledge, to learn amazing new vocabularies, and to stay in touch with students and the teacher.” (Fatima)

I always hope that reading what others think and feel at our blogs can be “an effective way to gain knowledge” and the new vocabulary is a bonus, of course. To “stay in touch” is a primary goal and is a result of the blog being there for you whenever you have time to look.



“It’s not only English class but also a lesson for our lives.” (Audrey)

Audrey captures something essential here. I strive to make my classes reflect important issues and ideas happening in the world around us every term. To do so, I hope to inspire you to work a little harder!


“I doubted myself and worried: ‘Shall I be able to keep up with the class?’” (Sophie)

Sophie speaks truthfully about my English class. She found the work difficult at first and wasn’t sure if she could do what I required. Happily, I can report that Sophie successfully completed the class and is in English 12!

Here I am;
Love seeing rainbows hanging in the sky, chewing a juicy cherry near a lake, creating a snowman with my son on the powdery snow (hoping that It is not melted after the rain), strolling through nature parks full of huge trees, the feeling you obtain when everyone sits at the beach.

Loved my roller skates, but it appears to be too small for me. Loved my myna, but he dwelt in heaven.

Look at time, and I can't turn it into counterclockwise direction; sense it, and all sensations are
precious possessions of my heart.
