My awesome student Nilo sent me these pictures of our last day as a class:
What a beautiful bunch of people! This term was a challenge because everyone except one student was straight out of EIL classes- meaning that this was their first college English class after learning English. They started out the term very insecure and I worried about making sure everyone could understand what I was saying... let alone the readings... let alone writing at the college level.
I think we all learned a lot- me most of all- which makes me so grateful for this semester because I feel better equipped to teach a variety of students now!
I don't know if I will teach again, but it sure has been a fun ride and that is that.

erin yes! she cracked the whole class up on a regular basis. she was the class mascot for sure. we all love jocelyn. sometimes she would ask me a long, verrrrry long series of complicated questions and not listen to any of the answers and i would finally say, "jocelyn! i can't do this right now. i have to start class!" and she would say, "okeeeeee sista!" and laugh as she raced to her seat like a cartoon character. she is one of my all-time all-time favorites..... of all time. :)
ang- we posted at the same time- hehe!
yippee for SUMMER!!!
-love the shoes!
I am proud of you for teaching! I know what a challenge it can be, even if it is amazing!
And can I just say how much I love those shoes? Yes, I do!
I SOOOooo admire you for this! Any time you talk about your classes, I get anxiety! That is pretty much my worst nightmare, and you LOVE it and are good at it! Wow. And love the green shoes.
