Farewell


I wish I could say goodbye to you properly after this weird term, but once more, we´ll have to communicate via the internet. And it´s especially poignant in this case since next year I won't be teaching at the Berlanga, I´m moving to a new school closer my home. In your virtual classes in Google Classrooms or Edmodo I´ve uploaded a more private message for you, please check it out. Thank you for all the great moments we have shared together, I won´t forget them. If only I could take you all with me...
