To My Dearest Students: I would like to give a special thanks to all the students who have actively participated in my blog.  I am so proud of you, and your efforts, especially-- in this moment in time.  It makes me happy to know that you have enjoyed my posts, as much as I have enjoyed making them for you.  I am throughly grateful to have been part of your learning experience, and to have brought you a bit of joy during these troubled times.  I hope to continue to see your participation throughout my future blog posts from here onwards.  I will be sporadically writing throughout the summer months, so stay tuned for more fun learning experiences.   I love you and hopefully, I will see you back in October when classes start again.  Have a Safe and Happy Summer Everyone!  Many kisses and hugs,  Marilyn  Xoxoxxoxoxoxoxoxox A Special Thanks to: Mariana   Celia Jacobo Belen Sabela   Enma I wo
