Thank God for the 11:00 class

I'm going to miss my 11:00 005 class when this semester is over. They really do make my day every Tuesday and Thursday. The students in the class seem to look forward to being there. I enjoy seeing them and hearing what they have to say. They are genuinely involved in learning. And they have fun. We joke around while getting the learning done too.

I'm glad it's an 005 class because that means I may have the opportunity to have some of them in class again as they go on to take 101 and 102.

This 005 class may be part of the reason I am so disappointed with the writing in the 101 class. These Basic Writing students are writing much better than my 101 students right now. I haven't told some of them yet, but I am positive a number of the students from this class will receive the proficiency rating and will be eligible to skip over taking the 006 class. I can't wait to tell them that they earned it.

So...if any of you happen to read this, thank you. Your participation and enjoyment has really helped me this semester, and I feel honored if I have been able to help you.
