This is the second posting of the school year. This evening I have six students in the communications/English lab. They are all working at a different place in the PLATO program based on their particular needs. The goal is for them to complete the courses necessary to graduate from high school. The other teacher, Mrs. Mary Taylor, and I each teach a total of ten courses......two communications and eight English courses......English 9, 10, 11 and 12.
This is my first posting of the new school year, 2005-2006. We have a word of the day program. I write the word of the day on the board with the definition. The Director of the school comes around with goodies in a basket. If student volunteers can tell her the word of the day, give her the definition and use it in a sentence of their own, they get to select from the goody basket.
