Welcome back to class, students! Here we are again with the first idiom of 2020. Can you guess what it is? 👣 • • • • • • • • • • • • The Idiom of the Week is... Start Off on the Right Foot 🦶 Meaning: To begin something in a good way; to start well. Also used with “get off” or “get started.” Examples: • Let’s get 2020 *started on the right foot* with a wonderful new Idiom of the Week! • I prefer to *start our meeting off on the right foot* and talk about the good things before we move on to the bad things. • I didn’t *start this day off on the right foot* today – I burned my breakfast and spilled coffee all over the floor. ➡️ Head over to the blog at USAdultLiteracy.com for a pop quiz ➡️
Weekend classes are rocking out to our favorite carols last week. May the year ahead be full of high energies and greater focus for you to study and make your dreams a reality. Happy New Year 2020!
Our teachers, students, and staff in our evening classes wish you a very happy and healthy holidays!
We finally broke our own school rule - take out your cell phones to play a game of Kahoot! The winning team gets bragging rights and is first in line to eat. That's how we celebrate the holidays!
In November we restarted Culture Club, which now meets four days a week and has a new teacher, Wendy. So far they have studied the subway system, idioms, holidays, culture shock, and small talk. Here is a photo of our Culture Club students in a vintage train car at the New York Transit Museum.
