Hello!
The only homework I wanted to assign was:
1. Have a safe Halloween
2. Don't eat too much candy
Unfortunately, with the excitement generated by the holiday, the class was extremely difficult to get them to do even the most basic requests from teacher. Phrases like, "Please stop talking," or, "Sit down," seemed to fall on deaf ears. I really need your help, everyone. I am going to start emailing the parents of students who chronically misbehave. If we work as a team with consequences at home for lack of direction following here at school, I think it will make a meaningful improvement here at school. Thanks for your support.
I sent home the Toastmasters forms with grades on them. Class scoring was pretty good, but a few students were disappointed. I told them to use the form to help them improve during the next go-round (in March). Just pick the categories that lagged in the scoring and focus on improving it. All in all, the class performed admirably!
Sincerely,
Mr. McElroy
