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!

Weekly Blogpost

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.

3.  Identify who the text is for.

I recently purchased two items from Lululemon.  One was a gift card for a birthday present.  I was amazed at the creativity and the unique design of the text on the card.  The second gift I bought was a shirt that came in their traditional red bag.  For once, I actually read the words on the bag and I found them quite inspiring.

Part 2:  Imagine your teacher saying that you can learn about any topic that interests you.  List your top 8 topics (Example:  Tyrannosaurus Rex, Writing and performing your own guitar solo, Building a model of the Eiffel Tower)
