My students are really stressed. And its only the beginning of the semester. Some of them are over 400 points. They need to go to www.vitality.com and read artilce #543 called "self-Care: Reducing Your Stress Now." I hope they find ways to do that.
I'm very stressed too, so I'll be checking that out.
This blog is thoughts about my ESOL classes. I learn a lot from my students. I hope they learn a lot from me.
