They always hand it to me and then I turn to the class and say, "That's it. Ta Da!"<BR/><BR/> It works well to break up the class bit and lighten the mood before we go to the block of instruction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-1150260696115363122006-06-14T00:51:00.000-04:002006-06-14T00:51:00.000-04:00Haha.
