Learning from Losing

This weekend, Michigan jumped out to a 17 - 7 lead on #3 Penn State. The game ended with Penn State up 46 - 17. In a game that included lots of bad moments (for the Michigan fans among us) there were still good moments, like John Thompson forcing a fumble on this play. What lessons can be learned from this? I believe that some academic parallels could be drawn. What do you think?

It's been a week now . . .

What were some of the things you loved most about the sleepover? I thought it was really cool how much trash we were able to pick up, and I hope that translates into us taking especially good care of our own campus. I enjoyed the high ropes course because it was neat to see boys working through some of their nervousness to do things they weren't sure the could do.

Mr. Oberle frequently said, "self awareness is the first and most important step on the path to growth and change". Especially as you grow and change as people and students in the middle school, it is important to take stock from time to time. What did the noun test look like? What parts seemed really easy? What parts seemed really difficult? How did your preparation fit in with the test? Most importantly, what will you do the same or differently in preparation for the next grammar test?
