A new class

LINC 4 Linda and Lorna's Class

Its the second week of a new term.  The class has been getting acquainted and there is a good atmosphere in Room 205.
In my blog I usually tell you something about the class, life in Canada and my life.  You don't usually have to read it but sometimes I will ask you to read the blog and answer questions.

Q: Why should I read about someone's class and life?  It's boring.
A:  It's good practice.  Reading in English is never a waste of time.  Reading is one of the most important skills, especially if you want to continue your education.  The blog is not difficult so it doesn't take much time and you will probably learn something new.

You can feel free to read some of my old posts if you like.

Let me tell you something about myself.
I just celebrated 20 years of service at NorQuest College, but I've really been here since July 6, 1981.  I started as Assistant LIbrarian Downtown after finishing my Masters of Library Science.

I really enjoyed working with the ESL students downtown.  I gave tours and workshops about the library and  helped students find books. I quit that job in 1985 because I wanted to spend more time with my son, who was born in 1983.  That's how I started teaching immigrants. 
I taught in the evening for about 10 years and then started subbing at this school.
For a few years, I thought I would go back to library work, but now I wouldn't change careers for the world.  I really like my job.

My other job is being a grandmother.  I have 2 granddaughters.  Mia is 3 and Charlotte is 1 1/2.  They live in Fort McMurray but I see them quite often.  We also love to communicate using FaceTime on the iphone, ipad or Apple TV.
Of course, they are the most beautiful and intelligent girls in the world.  I really enjoy being Nana.
