      Whoa! Is that vector art of the New Crown characters? Now you can enjoy crisp Emma even at 4K!

      Cool. A teacher was just asking me for a new years presentation. Usually I just tell them all we do is sleep off hangovers on New Years but I think I'll use this instead. Thanks.

      I love the New Crown characters :,)!

      Hope it works out well, I've done this before and they enjoyed learning about different traditions!

      Thank you! Today I used the pptx. It was a fun, quick way to get into the first lesson of the year.

      Cool PPT, thanks! Is it just me or does "for 108 times" sound incorrect?

      Thank you ! I fixed it and took out the for.

      It's really fun introducing different New Year' traditions in a simple way.

      Thanks for the lesson! It's the first lesson I've used from ALTopedia, and it worked well in my SHS. The students get really into the quiz!
