- I got to teach the advanced level class again this morning while the regular instructor took care of other business. I have done it enough times now that I feel I’m getting a little bit good at it. One student thanked me afterward for the interesting lesson (we read and deciphered a news article about the trapped Chilean miners).
- I had my noon-hour class laughing today when I made them hum pairs of questions to each other to practice rising intonation in yes/no questions and falling intonation in wh- questions. They said it was silly and crazy, but I think they liked it.
- Sylvain is finding a lot of synchronicity between the novel he is reading and ACIM. I don’t think it’s a coincidence.
- The more I ask for feedback and ideas from my students, the more they open up. Today one of them asked if I could please make name cards for their desks to help them learn each other’s names.
- I had a good visit with the person I visit each week as a hospice volunteer.
What I learned today: that “to swelter” can mean what the weather does, but can also mean what a person does when it’s very hot.

Personally I don’t think anything is a coincidence :)
