Roosevelt is once again hosting a silent auction. Last year our class participated in the designer chair project. This year our focus has turned to a 'gift basket.' However, the catch is, it's for a MAN! How many times have you been to an auction before to find a basket that caters to the Man of the House? I'm guessing that it's been slim to none.
We need help from all the guys out there. In order to insure our basket is a success, we don't want to forget anything - jot us note, post a comment..... what items would be in the perfect gift basket?
Signed Copies for Sale. Read information on left side panel below.

Parent Conference Time - SPRING
This Spring, Lakeshore is hosting a 'Request Basis' style of conference. There are really three types of requests for the conference: 1.) Parent Request, 2.) Teacher Request, and 3.) Academic / Social Concerns.
The parent request is design for parents to have the opportunity to request a conference with the teacher. A parent might feel the need to check in and see how the academic or social progress of their child is progressing.
The teacher request is design for teachers to touch base with parents they may be out of touch with/ not spoke with in a while. It's a great opportunity to reconnect between school and home.
The academic / social request is a wonderful opportunity to get everyone on the same page for academic or social success. It's a terrific chance for a plan to be discussed to meet success.

It's Golden in OT!
Growing up in Southwestern Michigan, you are more than likely aligned with the Chicago Bears then your are with the Detroit Lions. Unless you grew up in the 70's,.... then we allow a little cheering for the Cowboys. With Romo and the boys taking a 1 yard bow and the Lions giving their all to a 'close but no cigar' season, the Bears are due their shuffle.
Since I can remember the moment I actually sat down and cheered on a team, it has been the Chicago Bears. Thanks to the antenna,.... in the early 70's, Chicago wins the hearts of the southwest in Michigan with Chigago progamming.
The last glimmer of hope with Bear ball came in the mid 80's with a decisive win for the Super Bowl Championship! It was as if the 'Black and Blue' league was once and for all getting their due. The 'Monster of Midway' became Americas team and we their cheering section.
Now the 'shuffle' once again is reborn with the number 2 defense in the NFL and the scary factor of Grossman; which can bring a team from superior to well,..... Gross. He has the potential to lead a team to a championship, or to the brink of despair. However, despite the 'Gross' factor, we have the golden boy in Gould! In other words,..if Grossman can get him close enough, he can knock it down. In overtime, Gould (pronounced GOLD) was every bit his worth. The Bears are in the NFC finals and looking at a Super Bowl birth. How sweet it is..... a chance for my blood pressure to soar and yelling at Grossman to reach an all time high. I say, BRING IT! After all, whether it be the Superbowl Shuffle or the leg of Gould, it's the Super Bowl all the same. Go Bears!!

9. My mom is still working on it. She sent a note asking for an extension.
8. My what?
7. I couldn't remember what page I was suppose to do so I drew this picture for you to keep. Can I get extra credit for the drawing?

The human mind can only remeber 20% of what it learns in a day. How am I suppose to remember my homework?!

Gender Issue
I had coffee this morning to a report on television that said that males now make up just over 30% of the educational population of the K-12 system. The top reason more men have not become educators is because men can earn more money in our society outside of the educational system. OUCH. More money!
Than I came to an epiphany. Is that what my profession has come to? Money?? Of course not .... so here's the top ten reasons for being a male teacher.
10. Dibs on lost and found clothing
9. A free membership to the high school weight room
8. The biggest desk in the room
7. Snack time where sharing with the teacher is allowed
6. Endless supply of reading material
5. You always have the correct answers
4. Moms with baked goods and birthday treats
3. You know when it's a drill or when the fire is real
2. Everyone notices when you get a haircut ....., or shave
1. Whenever there's a staff athletic event, you seldom get picked last!
