[etni] returning words ?

Dear Etniers,

First  and foremost I want to wish every single English teacher in the
country ( and even the world !!)  a happy, healthy and joyful new year. May
we keep teaching our pupils ENGLISH and be less stressed out over grades ,
bagrut , meitzav etc..   !!!

AND now a sweet story ... to make you smile.( i hope) . Call it a blooper ..
or just a mistake.. !!  One of the things I do with most of my students in
the beginning of the school year is to have them set themselves short term
goals.  I believe our children learn to take responsibility for their
learning if they are asked to think about where they are and where they
would like to be !!  ( I highly  recommend trying this )  Anyways.. one
lovely girl wrote " My goal is to return all the words from the previous
year of learning ".. At first I was stymied.. , Why would she want to return
the words,, ?? (and to who ??) Were they bad words, not useful ,, too hard
to pronounce !!  OH.... She meant *remember*,, the words !!!!

Well.. hopefully I leave you with a smile.. Again SHANA TOVA to all of you.
All of you who find being teachers a calling and who work so very hard all
year round !!
All the best,
Aviva Shapiro
Try and Fail BUT Never Fail to try !!!
