Thursday the doctor recommended I not talk much and today the eighth grade English teacher is handling her classes, so I am at the Board of Ed. office. It is much quieter here, I have a more comfortable desk, and the people here are always much warmer; all this makes me happy on days when I am here.
I have to decide on the lessons for Wednesday and Thursday. Even though I expect my voice to be doing quite fine by then, I still want to do something that gives me a bit of a restful break in. I really don’t like having to talk over the seventh graders. They were pretty cooperative last Thursday when I could hardly talk, but I won’t expect that level again.
So, back to thinking of something with easy explanations and lots of student-initiated activity…
