Third Post from the Coast
Things I used to say on a daily basis:
Would you like to grab some coffee?
I'm reporting/working on this story...
When is my deadline?
This is your deadline...
Yes I have read that interesting article/essay/book and would like to discuss it with you over a cup of coffee.
Sure, I can take that story.
Hi, my name is ... and I'm a reporter with ...
Things I say now on a daily basis:
Your do-now is on the board.
I've got my timer running - it's up to you to earn your Charlie time.
Make a good choice*
Your name is now on my board.
Wow,I love how (student name) is doing their work - they need a sticker - who else is going to get a sticker.
Don't poke me - do I poke you?
Stop touching each other - everyone's hands are at their side.
You can tell me how you're supposed to behave, now you need to show me.
* I say "make a good choice" about 20,000 times a day. Talk about being a broken record.
Very happy to see an updated blog!

ReplyDeletewanna go get coffee? after that we can curl up in front of the television and I can make you watch Buffy - The Musical Episode over and over and over again with me.
ReplyDeleteI just thought I'd say, that I admire what you are doing. Heck, that may sound 'sappy' but it is true and said in a heartfelt manner.
