How exciting!  Congratulations to Bob Kuhn for becoming the new president of our university.  What an amazing job he has done as interim president, and now he can settle in and continue his great work.  The university made a good choice and we at ESLI are very happy to know he's sticking around!

Happy New Year, everyone!

I hope we have a lovely 2014 and a great new semester!

Movie for reading class tomorrow!

Hi guys,

Come to reading class tomorrow to watch The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.  We'll have Turkish delight!

The movie is longer than class time (143 minutes), so be prepared to stay longer. Please tell your homestay people or carpool people that you will be late.

See you tomorrow!

IT'S SNOWING!

Just in case you were not sure...

FLOW is finished!  The party was the end of the course, so we won't have class tomorrow.  I'll finish getting your grades to you throughout the week.

Good luck in your final exams.

How to get a grade for Unit 6: Party On!

I am looking forward to our party tomorrow!  Here are some things for you to remember so that you get a full grade for this unit:

Make sure you have handed in or posted your Christmas Questionnaire

Make sure you have posted your GSR (for Noni)

Keep all receipts for what you have bought and hand them in to me (I need to see that you have stayed within your budget)

If you are under budget - give me your change!

Take photos at the party

After the party, post your top 5 photos from the party and one paragraph describing your experience (from planning the party to having the party).

The photos and paragraph are due on Monday, December 2nd.

See you tomorrow!

Jessica Shyba adopted an especially shy puppy from a local animal shelter. As soon as she brought the dog home, an adorable naptime routine developed between her son and the new pup.

What an awesome guest speaker we had today!  Noni did such a great job getting us ready for Christmas parties.  Feel free to reblog these photos.

Your last GSR is due by Monday, but if you finish it today, even better! 

Remember also that you need to have your surveys finished before Tuesday's class.

Have a great weekend.
