Hi everyone, I,m Masae Okuda. I live in Saco. I have two kids who are 7 and 9 years old. I enjoy the ESOL class !!

イェイ　←　This is Japanese..... From Masae. O
Is that a picture of Cookie. I am still sad that he is missing. My cat Edward is very old and sick. He pees blood all over the house. We have to have newspaper all over the place. We are afraid our house smells bad.



September 16

Masae do you remember any favorite folk or fairy tales you were told or read when you were younger? Did you read any favorite stories to your students when you were a teacher?

Actually, I have a lot of favorite books. I will bring the books next class ! For example, I have "THE THREE BILLY GOATS GRUFF", "THE LITTLE HOUSE", "The Giving Tree" and more Japanese books.....

Masae,

On Thursday we will read Little Red Riding Hood which I bet you know. Can you bring a Japanese Little red Riding Hood if there is one?

Bo

I don't have Japanese one. But..... I will check again at home then I would bring the book ,if I have.

When I came back home, I checked "Little Red Riding Hood". I found !! This is a English book with a Japanese translation and CD. I'll bring it next class and the other books, too. Sorry, I forgot to bring the books today's class, though.....(9/28)

Masae

Hi Masae, Seems you are a friend to everyone! This is an excellent quality. I am having lots of fun on You-Tube learning about everyday life in Japan...I showed you some. I am getting stratigies from this guy Tom on You-Tube about how he learned Japanese that are motivating me. BFF,

Andy

 * I just want to show a video because I was so surprised and scared. It is hard to believe she is a robot !! **
 * Check it out !!! **


 * [|ROBOT] **


 * There seems to be a lot of things about robots these days. It is a little creepy. Or at least I think it is. I don't want to be afraid of new technology but these robots are a little bit too futuristic for me. **


 * I found about TOEIC on website. From Masae **


 * [|TOEIC] **


 * [|TOEIC 2] **


 * Masae **

Thanks. This is very interesting. I didn't know about it. I am going to ask other English language teachers what they (if they) know about it.

I also want to thank you for bringing the books and DVDs to class. I am sorry I didn't get to look at them all. We have a lot going on and some times I feel like I am missing a lot. Thank you for helping Duc.

Bo

**Sorry about that. See you next Tuesday !! Masae**

 * That's OK. I am wondering if you want to talk about Catwings and if you want to read the final book?**


 * Hi, Mr.Hewey,**
 * Yeah! I want to read the Catwings final book !! I'd like you to bring the book next class if you're OK.**
 * And did you notice that I wrote about Catwings second book on Catwings discussion page? See you on Tuesday!!! From Masae**
