It's definitely that time of the school year. The kids are listless, teachers are tired and/or sick, and Spring Break still seems too far away. I wonder if there's been any research done on student achievement during this time. Progress reports went out this week, which explains the line-up of parent conferences next week. No project + bad test grade = trouble.
On a more positive note, we have been working on 5 paragraph essays (ambitious, I know). I'm trying to create overachievers, what can I say? The cool thing is I think they're getting it! We are using this strategy called "The Bing, The Bang, and The Bongo". If you're intrigued, you can visit my wikispace www.msimon.wikispaces.com.
Tomorrow I'll be heading over to the JMA Clinic at Baxter Institute to oversee the construction of the sound booth! It's parts and pieces right now, so this should be interesting.
Peace and blessings!
