Hello everybody. It is a fun and exciting holiday for us teachers this holiday. I hope everyone is having as much fun as me. At the same time I also take the opportunity to browse the internet for my teaching resources next year. While browsing I stumbled upon few interesting videos related to the teaching plan I have posted earlier in my blog.
