I'm encouraging all students to sit in on their parent teacher interview.  As I mentioned in class today, I believe for students to improve, they need to understand the specific areas they need to work on.

Dialogue Example

"Psst, Susie!  What's the answer to question two?" Calvin hissed.

Susie responded back, "Eli Whitney and the Cotton Gin."

"But this is a math problem?" he said confused.

"It's a trick question," she said sarcastically.

"How come you wrote something different?" Calvin said suspiciously.

"I'm going to get this question wrong so it won't look like you copied," Susie responded with a grin.

10-15 Things You Wished You Could Do

Due Friday, November 15

Here is the beginning of my Post

1. Blow my nose- No, I'm not kidding, I cannot physically blow my nose. This is a medical mystery, and when I have a stuffy nose everyone around me suffers!

2. Play Guitar- Does playing Guitar Hero count? Yes, I have heard of the phrase, " if you put your mind to it, you can do anything". The fact that I can't clap in rhythm gives me minimal chance of being the next John Mayer.

3. Draw Bubble letters- I was the student in Art class that used stencils to create Bubble letters. It is highly debatable whether I am a better musician or a better artist. When I asked my wife, she just laughed.
