About blogging, and about Jennifer's choir

Hello to everyone in Rita's class. I hope that you continue to enjoy blogging. If you have any questions about blogging, please ask me. Leave a comment to this post and I will be happy to answer in your most recent post in your journal.

Don't forget to make one new post each week in your blog so that your partner in Shannon's class can read it and leave a comment for you.

Also, visit your partner's blog each week to read their latest post and leave a comment for them. They are very happy to hear from you and they want to communicate with you.

News about me: Monday and Thursday nights I am singing in my church choir. We will be putting on a cabaret in the middle of April and so we are practising our songs very hard. A cabaret is a fun musical show where the audience sits around tables. They enjoy the music and the acting while they eat and drink. I am singing alto in the choir (Alto is the lower of the two women's voice groups in a choir. Soprano is the high voices' group.) I hope that we will remember all our words in the songs and that we won't make any mistakes! Wish me luck!

Last Day (but not my last post!)

Today is my last day with the class. On Monday, another teacher whose name is Rita will come. I've enjoyed being with all you wonderful students and I am going to miss you. I hope that you continue to "blog" after I leave and also after you finish this class in April! I will continue to visit my blog and yours as well. Maybe you will see some comments from me in your blogs!

Keep blogging and communicating. It is a great way to practice your writing and computer skills while you share thoughts, ideas and memories with your friends. I hope you have fun!

Spring is coming

Now it is March and the weather is getting warmer. Last week and this morning, I heard birds chirping as I caught my bus. The sun is rising earlier and setting later, so we have more light in the day time.

This year, Daylight Saving Time starts on March 11th (at 2:00 am). Don't forget to turn your clocks forward by one hour on March 10th (Saturday) before you go to bed at night!

Enjoy the extra light!

Snow

Good afternoon, everyone! I hope that you are all keeping warm in this -19 C weather!

I have been enjoying the snow recently. The snow is my favourite kind that sparkles in the light. It looks as if the dust from diamonds has been scattered everywhere and so I love to just walk around outside and gaze at the ground and the trees. I shall be sad when the thaw melts the snow in a few days.

Do you like the snow? Why or why not?

Hi, everyone! Welcome!

Today we are starting our adventures in blogging. Some of you already know how to use blogs and others will be learning for the first time.

After you have set up your own blog, please use the links to find other students' blogs. These links are on the "sidebar" to the right of my entries and they are listed under the heading "Jennifer's Class - Winter 2007." Visit other students' blogs and say hi! If they have written something and you would like to respond and offer your thoughts, then leave a comment. Don't be shy. :)

Blogging is a wonderful way to communicate and connect with other people. Have fun!

I am experimenting with my blog. I have added this picture of me so that I can have a picture in my "profile".

I will cross my fingers and hope this works!

Welcome!

Welcome to Jennifer's ESL Corner. Today I am learning how to use this blog at a teachers' conference. I hope that this will become a welcoming place for students to talk about English.
