I keep you in my heart

Hello everyone!


Welcome to the new school year 2015/2016.
Hope you all had a great summer.
As you well know, this year I'm teaching in Gran Canaria and I didn't have the opportunity to say Goodbye in June...

Thank you so much for the two years I've taught in Ceip Antoñito el Farero school, you made my job very easy and I had a great time teaching you.
I hope you keep on working on your English.
I keep you in my heart forever...

Love,
Verónica Tchiengoue
