Another school year comes to an end...

...and it's time to reflect over the past year :-)
Forgive me if your name is not mentioned - it doesn't mean that I think any less of you & your input in the lessons that I had with you (whoever you are!)...but here are some highlights that come to mind, just glancing at the class lists in front of me...

  • Šary's (4A) much-appreciated hug when I'd had some bad news...purely spontaneous - a 'God-moment' for me - He knew I needed that!
  • Radek Buriánek arm-wrestling with Maurice (from Kenya) AND winning 2-0! Awesome!
  • Staying on the arm-wrestling theme - Soňa Nárožná getting turned over by Adéla Valková!
  • Adéla Valková coming to 4B's lesson (Dream Team) on a Friday afternoon, and being prepared to speak to the class (with NO preparation) on 'problems with learning English' - a stunning performance at such short notice! (Marty's famous quote afterwards...Me:"Wasn't she very good?" Marty: "I'm in love...." :-)
  • Radek 'Pavlis' Pavlačka - when I asked the class to invent something & present it to the class...and his awesome 'Stargate Beer Maker' invention! :-)
  • Honza 'Mr. Gilmour' Krempl's wonderful rendition of 'Whatever Come to Pass' by the Kevin McDermott Orchestra - a great piece of music :-)
  • Lukáš 'King Charles' Mazoch dancing with Maurice (sure, Vadim Janovskij & Radek Buriánek did it too, though I wasn't too sure about Vadim...! - but Lukáš was excellent!)
  • Aleš Dvořáček's discovery of beer...in the past he'd been a bit of a loner - a quiet guy...then he went out with some classmates & enjoyed some beers...and quickly moved from the name of 'Jimmy Three Beers' through to his current one of 'Jimmy Six Beers'!!
  • Dan 'The Butcher's Man' Řezníček - when told to ask Ondra Šulík a question asked: "Are you gay?" Much to the shock of Ondra! :-)
  • Roman Vrana's performance in the School Maturita Exam!
  • Tereza Zavidilová's performance in the State Maturita Exam!
(more to follow!)
