It’s All in The Family {Giveaway & New Unit}

September 4, 2014 by ·

Family is one of the bigger topics that we cover at the beginning of the year. We start talking about “Me” and then try to move the attention away from “Me” to family because it is a topic that students feel like they know. The first oral presentation I have my students give is about […]

Beach Days and Christmas in July Continues

July 17, 2014 by ·

Greetings from the beach! I want to tell you that I am sorry if your view at this moment doesn’t include sand, water and sun…because mine does. #sorrynotsorry I think each year after Vegas, we should just move the party to the beach?
