Welcome to my ESL class for Semester One 2013. My name is Mrs. Dedels, but you may call me Mrs. D if you like. This is my 25th year teaching in School District 73 and my 6th year at Sa-Hali Secondary. I feel fortunate to be teaching in such a welcoming, dynamic school. There's always something fun going on at Sa-Hali, and there are plenty of opportunities for you to get involved in the school. I also feel privileged to be able to work with students who come from all around the globe. There is so much fascinating information that we can learn from one another about the cultures we come from. I'll teach you not only English, but also, something about the culture, history and geography of Canada. In return, I hope that you will share with me and your classmates what it is like in your home country.
