Your use of total physical response definitely engaged students in their learning and made it more fun and durable. Students were able to express what their "John Travolta" pose represented and why it would shift from one side to the other or from one axis to the other.

Unsung Hero- Donna's knowledge of the Special Education IEP minutiae, her willingness to help- at any moment, reminding us of information long forgotten that needs doing and showing us how to do it correctly and most important to Donna, I know, is supporting all students, though striving to make sure the needs of the SPED students don't get trampled and stuffed "in the boiler room," by continuing to push for what works for all. Thank you Donna, for your continuous support, and being a kindred soul. I'd like to think I was as good as you but I know better, so thanks for all your help that you have given me and all the help you will still give me!-Michele

Thank you so much for doing such a great job with this spring's reclassification paperwork and monitoring forms. We reclassified 32 LEP students this spring (for a total of 83 this year!) and submitted 218 monitoring forms that are all now done, signed by Olivia, and at the DO! I am so grateful to work with such an amazing team.
