Hi guys, I had a useful tip this week, from the great Larry Ferlazzo.

 

It �s the end of term, so during the final class, I shake hands with each student (Larry suggests a hug!) and say �It �s been a pleasure having you in my class this year � or, when that is too big a fib;-) �It �s been fun having you in my class this year � and then comment on something they have done. �I liked the way you helped others/always smiled/cleaned up/were respectful/did your homework � etc...

 

This has gone down a treat, so I thought I �d share it...

What a great idea, Lynne! Could you give the link to ferlazzo �s article, please?

 

Hope you �re OK . When do you actually break up ?

Hi Mariethe,

I get Larry �s newsletter �Feedblitz � every month. I can thoroughly recommend it.

Two more weeks and then we break up, but we finish the old timetable this week and start the new timetable on Monday. Strange, but true!

Lynne

Edit: I�ve tried posting the link of the newsletter, but it led to my email account!
