Last week was spent reviewing for an end of unit tests. One of the review games I like to use is a basketball type game that the students ring in and answer a question and then shoot the ball for points. This review has worked great in the past when I’ve used it with the 7th grade girls and boys and the 8th grade girls. Well this week I tried to use it with the 8th grade boys.
A little background: the 8th grade boys have become increasingly unruly with all their teachers in the past few weeks. I had to end the review game after about fifteen minutes because they simply would not behave as a whole. This began a major crack down on the whole class. The rest of the hour I did not allow them to speak. I read the questions for the review and then read the answer. They sat there a little shocked. The last couple days I have begun each class with a lecture about what is expected and the consequences for not doing it. Well see if it works.

Big Dog
The World’s Biggest Dog EverPublished by RGS April 16th, 2007 in Weird.
Hercules was recently awarded the honorable distinction of Worlds Biggest Dog by Guinness World Records. Hercules is an English Mastiff and has a 38 inch neck and weighs 282 pounds.
With "paws the size of softballs" (reports the Boston Herald), the three-year-old monster is far larger and heavier than his breed’s standard 200lb. limit. Hercules owner Mr. Flynn says that Hercules weight is natural and not induced by a bizarre diet: "I fed him normal food and he just grew"…. and grew and grew and grew.
