So long, farewell, goodbye

Yesterday was our last class and I really had a great time with my "teacher-students". It was an enriching experience and sure to be missed. It was a hard month: we started with Emily and ended with Irene, but that just shows that we can do it no matter the obstacles.
I am very proud of all of you who are able to balance it all together: being teachers, parents, students. The fact that you are all elementary school teachers gives me hope that not all is lost and we can put our tiny contribution for a better future.
I hope that even though this class is over, the things you learned will help you to become better teachers and the new tools you acquired, like this blog, inspire you to start one of your own with your students and colleagues.
Keep it up and I'm here if you ever need me.
Love y'all hommies!

Welcome to my Blog

I hope that you are able to learn a little bit more about linguistics and the teaching of English.
I will be posting a series of thoughts and articles regarding this topic and hope that my students will reflect on them.
Feel free to make comments and suggestions.
Welcome to this new experience of doing a blog!
