Thank you

Surprise after surprise, my dear fellows!
I'll treasure all the moments I've lived with you, all the presents, the chained stories, the interview, the pictures, the images, the flowes and the thoughts...

And again... this is not a "Goodbye"; just keep in touch!

I love you all!

I have always been inspired by this quote:

The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers,
gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness.
If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom,
but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.
Kahlil Gibran



Whilst in the middle of the night I cannot sleep, still reading your blogs and thinking how fortunate I am to be finishing my classes with all of you!

Thanks!!! my dearest, my unique and powerful students!

It's not a farewell!

My dear students,

There's an end to everything and here comes my last communicative exchange with you before my other beginning. So, this is not a farewell, it is an invitation to keep in touch through my Carpe Diem Blog which will be updated as soon as I begin my “round the world” adventure. However, just in case some of you turn out greater travellers than myself and get lost somewhere in the Universe, I’ll ask you for some advice.

I’ve been a “formal” teacher for more than 30 years! Of all these years I gather fond memories, wonderful experiences which I shall treasure for years to come. I’ve tried to share with you some of these moments in our classes and have lived with you some of these moments myself. I’ve tried hard even though I know it is not easy to please everyone. Please, forgive me those who had different expectations. I couldn't avoid being myself.

As you know I’m embarking on a different project soon. I’d like to find out what makes a good teacher and what makes a good student and I’m going to ask you to comment on the following with your best English, the English you’ve learned throughout these years in your school, in this school…

Give me your opinion about:

The Blog Project
Were you engaged? If you weren’t why do you think it was so? because of work? because of your personality?
What made you choose the name you chose?
Was it thrilling to have a nickname?
Which blogs did you enjoy most? Why?
Were you happy to receive comments? Did you write comments yourself?

The Nicenet Page
How often did you check the contents?
What materials were most useful?
What materials did you enjoy most?
Do you think “Nicenet” is a useful tool?

The classes
Which of our classes do you think you will remember most in the future?
Which classes did you enjoy most and which did you enjoy least? Why?

By getting your very honest answers, I’m starting my new project with you, my unique and powerful students!

Thanks for sharing, thanks for believing.
Please, keep in touch,

I want to thank you for the wonderful company, the nice words, the lovely presents, and specially... for being you, my UNIQUE AND POWERFUL STUDENTS!!!!

Here comes a song to think about before I post my letter. The song has to do with these last teaching days I'm living with all of you.



Thanks for sharing!

Get ready for the DISCOVERY party!

Any ideas? any problem?
Let us know so that we can share it at the party!
