GET WELL SOON, SARA!

Dear students,

Today I'm sick at home with stomachache and with the stomach bug. I was not feeling very good this morning that is why I had to go to the doctor.

Sara's mother has sent me a message telling me that she had her appendix removed yesterday. Poor Sara! She may be in pain! She is in Lleida in the hospital and she will be there for some days. I thought that maybe you want to write her a "Get Well Soon" message here in the blog.

So, please, why don't you leave Sara a message? Maybe she will read them from hospital!

Take care childen!

Mónica.
