Wednesday, May 5

Today's class went well. It was a small group (10 students) due to a memorial service that held up the count and prevented many students from getting to the ed building in time.

Going off what Kara posted about yesterday, we spent today responding to questions over the chapter 8 homework and reviewing informally IOP/DOP, preterit and weather expressions. The small group allowed us to work together and respond to specific questions. I picked up and will grade the l7 homework left in the box (as well as a couple for l8).

I agree with Kara's outlining for the end of the semester. Perhaps we can administer the quiz/presentations next Tuesday or Wednesday, and give them Thursday and Friday off? Or, if there is no class on Monday (I also am unable to teach on Monday), perhaps have a review and presentations on Tuesday and then the 7-8 quiz/test on Wednesday. Any thoughts? I could draft the test, although if there is any one else could volunteer, that would be great! Like Kara mentioned, getting the grades determined pretty quickly will be important. Perhaps we could meet next weekend or early the following week to compile and discuss grades?

Hope that tomorrow's class goes well. A word of warning: a funeral is scheduled for tomorrow which could impact the timing and occurrence of class. The guards suggested that tomorrow's teachers either call the ed building around 1:30 or 2 to see if normal programming is on. I'd suggest just showing up and being patient.
