meeting the class for the first time
to decrease any jitters I like to sing on my way to work or mimic what the news radio is saying. This is a great way to exercise the mouth. Remember what Socrates did with putting stones in his mouth.
That's great! I suppose singing will help you speak better and more comfortable.
Hi Tracy,
Good way to get prepared for class and have a little fun prior to the class getting started. This way as you make your commute you are mentally preparing for the upcoming instructional experiences that you are going to offer your students.

This is great. I typically sing on the way to work everyday, but I like the idea of taking your mind off first day jitters.
I believe that meeting the class for the first time is very important. I am not sure about singing. (smile) but I would be sure to come up with a great idea
When meeting the class for the first time, I try to remember a few from our orientation a couple of weeks earlier.
I also thank them for passing the course, graduating and contributing to my social security. It tends to relax things and also at the same time gets them thinking successfully too.
