11/10: sweets in class

I bring my students cupcakes as soon as everyone in a particular class can name everyone else in the class. (I started doing this a couple of years ago because I was kind of shocked to realize that they don't usually learn one another's first names, even though our school is relatively small and they hear me call everyone by name every day.) Today my upper-level Latin class got their cupcakes, and it was nice to see how delighted they were to have a treat in the late afternoon.
