Amber-My happy this week was a student in band using Synergy/Student Vue to notice he could improve his grade.  He asked to resubmit an assignment, which brought him to 100% in band!  It's not my win, but I was so impressed with his initiative, I had to share it with the group.

Amber-My Wednesday included an excellent meeting with my PE partner to plan circles, alleys, and lines for our family dancing night May 18th.  We marked out places for 180-200 dancers that night because our principal excused us from the Math PD.  So wonderful to be treated like a professional.

I am working on my schools talent show and accepting applications for backstage and MC helpers. One student answered the question of “why do you want to help” with I know I struggle in music, but I want to help to show you that I can be a good helper and be responsible. I can also move things fast and be safe. I’ve been wanting to turn things around and I think I can show you that I can by helping with the talent show.

What went well Wednesday - By doing a visual/verbal pre-assessment to the 3rd and 4th graders I was able to see what skills they need to be ready for recorders in a couple of weeks AND I didn't have to grade all those papers!!!  :)

When teaching a double class of challenging fourth graders, I was able to take a couple deep breaths and give instructions in a quiet, centered voice instead of a louder voice that matched theirs.  It really helped calm the classes down and recenter the activity.

Am trying teaching folk dances again this year.  Had to learn all new dances for all grades and it actually went pretty well.  High levels of engagement even from my older boys who were reluctant to dance.

I have a gal with autism who leaves class if I ever bring out paper and pencils.  Today, we had a minute  before the rest of her class came to talk about why we were using the paper and pencils and she stayed the whole class period.

A third grade girl who has been really emotionally overwhelmed because of recorder playing stayed in class all day without crying.  I touched base with her at the end of class and we celebrated together.
