Fall 2010 Notes...

Classes with Linda begin this Tuesday at Midlo. Please remember to bring a check for $80, payable to Linda. Antoni has decided not to participate this session.

There will be 2 conversational groupings in Linda's class: Regular and Advanced. Please sit with your group to minimize time it takes to work on small group conversation.
1. Advanced sit on left side facing board; Regular sit on right side facing board.
2. Try changing seats every week, so that you will be beside someone different each week.

Remember to bring your white boards with dry-erase marker(s). I still have a few for those who don't have one yet, so don't buy one if you don't have one. I haven't bought markers, so you'll need those.

Mes Amis regular sessions started last week and will be on alternate Wednesdays. We will be reviewing the grammar in one chapter each meeting (see schedule for chapters and leaders). Feel free to bring additional materials you wish to share. Linda will be giving us opportunities to practice the grammer learned in her next class to help reinforce what we learned.

Look forward to seeing everyone again mardi!! Gi

Septembre - Gearing up for Classes with Linda !!

Important Items...

Please note that there are no meetings scheduled for this week. Enjoy your week off!

Please check out the schedule, as Linda's classes start soon. Try to come a few minutes early and bring your $75 payment to the first class. If you have decided to not participate, please let me know ASAP, as this affects the cost for all of us.

I have forwarded your comments on Linda's ideas for class activities to Linda on Sunday. Since only about 1/2 of the group responded, I also added my comments to make sure we also include activities to meet the needs of the less advanced members. Linda is reviewing and brainstorming strategies. I will let you know once a plan is finalized.

I'd like to get an idea of who will be attending the regular Mes Amis sessions, so we can decide what activities we want to do. Since we won't be having homework from Linda (we won't be using the book), do we want to do other activities or review the book on our own? Send me your thoughts and we can discuss at our next meeting.
