Amazing

Dogblog QOTD

Sometimes we can even surprise ourselves with what we can do. Blog about a time that you did something that you didn’t think you could do before where you may have even shocked yourself with how amazing you are. Make sure it is long enough. If you’re coming up short, add extra detail. Yes, everyone has something they have done that was pretty amazing, so I don’t want to see you say that you haven’t done anything.

  • Do some Mavis Beacon warmup practice lessons
  • Take your Week 8 Speed Test

Describe it

DogBlog QOTD

Think of what the cafeteria is like at lunchtime. Pick one particular place (could be the line, the table where you sit, the basketball courts), and picture it in your mind. This place could be large or small.
Describe clearly to Mr. Swanson what the place is like at lunchtime so he can imagine what it is like to be there. (I try not to go to the cafeteria because the thought of 250 kids all together is somewhat scary.)

Encore I & II

Wrapping up your presentations, turning them in, and giving the first one or two.
