What to say!

Today my classes were learning what to say when you go to a wedding and you come to the bride and groom in the receiving line.

1) Most had trouble with eye contact

2) Many forgot their lines or jumbled them together

So we talked about saying "Congratulations, thank you for inviting me to the wedding."

I had a couple of adults that are coming in with their hand helds (students that need in class supervision.. or at least some supervision from one room to the next. They helped me "coach" the lines and encourage participation.

It was a good lesson.. and I had an administrative walk through in the middle of one of the classes. She left telling the students that they must enjoy their class (mine) because of all of the good work they were doing. I identified her to the class and told them that she was an administrator. None of my students could say what an administrator does.. so they were not threatened in the least.

We are into the dog days of November.. if there is such a thing. Progress reports (Ds and Fs) have to be into the registrar by Wednesday.. No one in my classes are headed for one except the kid who is never there.

I will never forget the day that I got a "cinch" notice from my biology teacher, Mr, Mezzeta, in high school. I was out with mono and be adninistered an F notice. I think I also got one in graphic arts.. not enough projects turned in.. we had a dark room at home and so I cranked out a few "alternative" projects. I graduated from high school without an F but also without a semester A as well.

Everyone is looking forward to Tuesday being off and a pretty light Monday due to Veterns Day.

Have a great evening.
