Ms. Hart’s Dumplings

Today you read about Dana Torres’s unique mental and physical qualities allowing her to be the oldest Olympic contender EVER.  In a full paragraph, please write about one or two mental qualities that allow you to be the best you can be.  An excellent response will not only tell us about the quality/qualities, but will more importantly give examples of you putting that quality to good use.  Everyone must respond!  So think:  what mental quality/qualities make YOU and extraordinary dumpling?

P.S.  If Ms. Hart responded to this prompt, I would either write about my ability to use my sense of humor to good effect…on most days, anyway!

I’m serious about this, dumplings.  Working with all of you this summer is an absolute pleasure.  It doesn’t feel like I’m working…it feels like I’m just visiting each day!

I recently enjoyed seeing a CNN news story on military dogs.  Since I know that my dumplings are all “animal people,” I decided to hunt for a website from which to choose today’s exercise.  Let me know whether you enjoyed learning about the dogs–and about today’s #1 MCAS multiple choice tip:  the answers are usually found in the reading selection.  Use a highlighter to find the answer.  To learn more about military dogs check out the site underneath the Blogroll to the right.
