SUMMER WORK FOR ALL LEVELS






SO... Summertime at last!!!!  and a song comes to my mind. This is the tittle of  the  song composed by  George Gershwin for the opera  Porgy and Bess. It is considered to be the most covered song in the world with at least  25.000 versions.  
You can listen to  this one by  Norah Jones with lyrics


A  few more if you click here from opera to reggae, including Janis Joplin's version too.

WALKING ON SUNSHINE. KATRINA AND THE WAVES


Today,  last videochats with 2 ESO STUDENTS, NO MORE WORK FOR YOU!!!. I still have a lot of correction waiting in line and paper work but for a moment... I feel like singing and dancing.
Would you sing and dance with me? 
We had our sad moment sharing tears while saying good-bye to Katie but she will be around for nearly another couple of months and we should be happy for her,  she will be a full time primary teacher near her relatives and friends in Kentucky. We love you Katie!
So let's dance and sing once more!!!

Protests across the globe after George Floyd's death. 1st BAC

I believe change can only happen when it stops being 'their' problem, and becomes 'our' problem."




"Why I decided not to watch the video" is the title of an article written by Sandrine Lungumbu for BBC News where she explains how videos like the one about George Floyd's death can be really disstressful and affect people's mental health. She goes on mentioning other cases of brutal deaths and questioning how supportive sharing a post, video or retweeting is. "We are beyond that now" she says.

Activities 8th week






I am leaving the cry of Janis to help you in the last week. She is going to try and love and keep a man.
I am asking you to try a little bit harder to master the tasks for the last week and then...relax.

Try, try, try just a little bit harder
So I can love, love, love him, I tell myself
Well, I'm gonna try, just a little bit harder
So I can't give, give, give, give him to nobody else.
Well, I've been waiting for such a long time
I ain't gonna lose myself
(No, I ain't gonna lose it)
I ain't gonna lose myself
To make him mine, all mine.
