Bienvenidos! Welcome to my Blog!

Hola! I am Laura Carlsson. Yes! I am from Argentina… but; no, I am not the girl in the picture 🙁
I teach Spanish as an associate faculty at MiraCosta College. I do not teach online (yet) but I always wanted to utilize all the available technology in the classroom to make it fun (for the students and for me!) and for that reason I am ready to start this challenge and learn MUCHO MUCHO MUCHO!
The cute picture you see in the blog header are two of my 5 grandchildren. The little one on the right is the son of my daughter and her Brazilian husband. They are leaving next week to try a better life in Brazil. I brought my kids here 16 years ago for better opportunities. We passed through a lot to get our American citizenship and a decent life… and now they go other places with better possibilities. Isn’t that sad?
Well in a much happier note in these next pictures you see me (the real one) with my two daughters, Analia and Cecilia (the one leaving) and my son Lucas with our dog Fred (Alfredo). Hopefully, you can guess who is who 🙂
I have a lot to tell you about me, but I am guessing this is not the last opportunity we will have to get to know each other.
Thank you Lisa and Jim!
