Potluck Party on Monday!
We had a lot of holidays recently-- Mardi Gras, Valentine's, Lunar New Year, President's Day....
We voted to have a Potluck Party on Tuesday. Bring food if you can. Please remember that many people in our class do not eat pork or pig products. If you make anything homemade, I'd love to get a video on how to make it. Don't worry about bringing food if you can't! Come and enjoy.
What do you like to do to prepare for a party? Write about a party in your former country.

18 Wheels and a Dozen Roses
What do you like to do with your partner? What do you want to do when you retire?
There's a Place for Us
The first video is from the movie, "West Side Story." (Romeo and Juliet in 1950's New York City)
I want you to hear the indefinite pronouns in the dialog.
as sung on "Glee" in the early 21st century -- (sung slower and they both have USA accents)

What is Ash Wednesday? (Nathalie asked why there were people getting ashes on their forehead at a METRO station)
Ash Wednesday is an important day for Roman Catholic Christians. This video explains it.
Ash Wednesday is a time to remember and regret any bad things you did. It's a time to remember that you are going to die and that you want to be a better person right now.
There is an organization called "ashes to go" run by the Episcopal Church (Anglican (British English) Church in the United States) Ministers impose ashes at the METRO, in the streets, and in coffee shops. This custom has only been around for about five to ten years. Many conservative Christians dislike it.
