Listening to the question, Amanda felt herself relax, her tense shoulders slumping just slightly.  Oh, dear, she didn't mean to have appeared so tense in front of her students.  Giving a slow upward curl of her lips-a smile-she looked down at the syllabus.  Really, she had intended the books to be read in the order she'd listed them...but it wouldn't take<em>too</em>much work to switch around the first two books.  Looking up, she gave a slow nod.  "We can do that," she said, giving a somewhat warm and encouraging smile.  She looked around.  "Everyone, please mark the change on your syllabus.  We will be reading<em>Cold, Sassy Tree</em>first, and<em>To Kill A Mockingbird</em>second," she stated.  After the change was made and it seemed there were no further questions, she moved and opened a leather binder on her desk, beginning role call, noting each student's face with their name as best as she could.  It would take time for her to actually learn, but she was always quick on the uptake, so she was confident she'd have faces matched to names by the end of the week.  After that, she sat down, signaling that the students could talk amongst themselves until class was over.
