I'm back!

First I want to apologize. I'm sorry I haven't updated our blog for so long. You know I was really busy, but, I should have done it anyway. Now let 's begin with the news from December.

On December 8, 2007, Marcelle's baby was born. His name is Valentin and he has already attended our English 8 classes! Below is his photo.

Then Christmas came a new year began and everybody was on vacation.

In February and March some students sent me some suggestions of sites that they like. Take a look and give me your opinion:

Sandra's suggestion (English 8): http://www.aprendendoingles.com.br/shtml/2007344.shtml It's a list that if you sign in you receive a story in English every day. It's good to improve your vocabulary.

Luis (English 8) also sent the following site: http://www.bbc.co.uk/ He also mentions http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish and for children he suggests http://bbcle.bsysmail.com/go.asp?/.pages.resgistration/bBBE001

Other suggestions from Luis are http://www.uiowa.edu/~acadtech/phonetics/#

http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/ and http://www.spotlightradio.net/script.php?id=1982
