Hi Class,
It has been a pleasure having you all as students. I will miss our “Mornings” as well as a lot of other activities in class that allowed me to hear your words and learn about you.
We have no “final exam” in this class, and I am not going to make you come in to school Monday (tomorrow). I do, however, have to enter some sort of attendance record for the day, so, if you want to get credit for attendance for Monday, Dec 18, just “comment” on this post, and briefly answer the following question: What is a favorite memory you have of our class this last semester? I will answer my own question, to give you an example. One of my favorite things about this last semester with you was hearing you read aloud and memorize the words of one of my heroes: Helen Keller. I really enjoyed sharing her observations with you.
Pro-Tip for “commenting in OpenLab”: just click on the “# COMMENTS” area next to my name, below the title of this post.

Wishing you all the best this holiday season.

My favorite memory of this class was talking about the one time I saw a big green grasshopper-looking bug on a man’s head cap on the subway in the morning, on my way to college. I loved how we all were collectively laughing about it, and it was something that my professor, professor Schmerler always remembered and made jokes about.
Thanks, Manal. I loved that, too! And that image still stays with me. You really helped to make “mornings” successful, overall, with your writings and comments!
