I am so sorry that I was not able to be there today. My mom had to be rushed to the emergency room in Manning last night because of complications from an infection from a surgery she had two weeks ago to replace her right hip. I sat all night in the emergency waiting room and this morning she was flown by helicopter to MUSC in Charleston which is where I am now. I should return tomorrow as long as everything settles down.
I hope that you practiced my #1 rule for the class…respect. Ms. Judy, Ms. Brown, and Ms. Wood were nice enough to sacrifice their precious planning time to cover my classes and make sure that your education continued while I was out. I owe them greatly.
I look forward to reading your essays about your expectations for the class and seeing where you are on your vocabulary abilities. I had one student who has already sent me an e-mail for an invitation to join the edgespace.ning.com site. I look forward to the rest of you doing likewise.
