Welcome to a new year!

Dear Friends,

We are off to a new year. I am excited to learn and grow with you.
Here are some pictures that I took this summer. I thought of sharing some of the things that I did with you and hope that you share what you did this summer too.
Please look at the pictures. Post a comment/reply to tell me what you think as you answer my questions. Feel free to add what you did this summer or if you like the places I visited.

I look forward to an exciting year of working together. Parents, please go to the About Me tab to learn more about how I teach and my philosophy of learning another language.

I love to grow vegetables. Spring and summer area wonderful time to plant and watch your vegetables, herbs and fruits grow. Do you plant any seeds? Do you like fruots and vegetables? Can you tell what vegetable is growing in this picture?

Fruit or vegetable? Can you tell what it is? Can you buy these at the store or vegetable stands? This year, my "crop" was large, beautiful and tasty.

Have you ever been to the beach?

This is another view from the beach.

July 4th is Independence Day. Have you been to a July 4 Parade? Here is a picture of people celebrating this holiday .

I also love museums! This summer I saw an exhibit of an artist who works with acrylic and shapes creating optical art. He is from a country called Argentina. His name is Rogelio Polesello. Do you like this picture? What colors do you see? Do you think it is flat?

Finally, this is one of my favorite times and places! Can you tell when this is and where? As you know by now, I love nature and spending time outdoors. What do you like to do?
