Three things that I would like to change or keep doing during this next semester will be:
1. Maintain my grade up in Pre-AP Algebra 2. To be able to do that I would need to go in for tutorials if ever needed. Also, getting early to class to get a head start on my tests every Friday. By doing this I'll be getting the help I need and I'll have a better chance of acing my tests.
2. Get less tardies this semester. To do so I would need to wake up a little bit earlier to get to school on time. Doing this will help me not miss any class time because of tardy sweeps and be able to be exempt from my tests.
3. Study and practice my French. Since French is getting a lot harder, I need to study more and not slack off. By doing that I will be able to get my work done and get good grades.

I was quite surprised when I finished reading the article of Lewisville ISD trades rows of desks for sofas - Your Houston News: Dallas.
Teachers should really know better than that. Sure it would be a rather relaxing atmosphere at school and what kid doesn't want that? But that would only worsen the problem of kids trying to stay awake during class. Being that comfortable would only make them doze off and not pay attention.
With the older students it would only get worse since it's hard to keep teenagers awake,interested, and engaged in classroom activities.
With that in mind, my classroom would have normal desks and not sofas. Yes the students would be able to use electronics for classroom instruction such as ipads, smart phones, etc. but only when needed and under supervision. The room would be decorated with bright colors and modern furniture to have the kids look forward to being in class and to motivate them.
