Quote of the Week board

I have a fun way to make my students laugh when they come for their lessons. It is called my Quote of the Week board.

Basically it's a piece of butcher paper that I laminated and hung up on the wall. I took pictures of all my students and put each picture on the board. Whenever somebody says something worthy of being on the board (i.e.: dumb) I write the quote on the board and then pick 4 people who might have said that very interesting thing. Then, when the students come, they get to look at all the pictures and guess who said the quote of the week. Everyone who gets it right gets a piece of candy. It's very fun and all the students look forward to it. Some even have competitions between themselves for who won't make it on to the board. Unfortunately for them, dumb things just happen to spew forth from their mouths pretty regularly, so most of them have in fact been on the board.

Some memorable quotes of the week:
"How many people play in a duet?"
"You know that stuff that collects in your mouthpiece? It looks like it tastes good." GROSS
"What note does the A-flat scale start on?"
"My tonguing....it's like a whale hitting the water."

So as you can see, this is fun for me too. Whenever someone says something "worthy" they get a piece of candy too- this is how they know their quote is about to appear on the board.

It's fixed

Ok, so as you may or may not know, I am pretty un-savvy when it comes to computers and other tech stuff. So, I have asked me friend to help me with my blog and not I realize that some of you have actually commented and they haven't been posted or responded to (because I didn't know they were there, not because I was ignoring you).

Point is, now it's fixed and I get it. So please keep commenting. And- if you don't mind attaching your initials, so I know how who to reply to.

THANKS! :)
