You are pretty close, for Task 1 we want to change the code in teacher.js, and leave the code in person.js alone. Then when we are making our Person.call, we don't have a roomNumber for a Person, so we need to figure out something else to do with that parameter in our function.
Perhaps we can leave the code in teacher.js for roomNumber alone and make a Person.call for the other two attributes?
Post back if you are still stuck.
Happy coding,
Ken

This is the correct answer. Remove the this.firstName and this.lastName lines from the teacher.js and put them in the Person.call(); leave this.room where it is.
function Teacher(firstName, lastName, roomNumber) {
Person.call(this, firstName, lastName);
this.room = roomNumber;
}
