Thoughts, details about what we're doing, general music stuff.
The 5th graders are working hard this week on memorization, and also we've started my favorite part of the musical performance process: choreography. This is where they help me make up moves to go with their songs. Sometimes we use pre-planned moves that came with the script, other times I dislike the ideas in the script and I choose to make something else up. I enlist the help of the students, who usually have a ton of creative ideas, to add to the dance/movement piece. Today I had Mrs. Carbine's class studying short videos of Mick Jagger to get an idea of what true "swagger" is. (I love my job!!) We also watched a short clip of Angus Young performing the 'duck walk' with his guitar. To be the first person to introduce these great legends of music to them, is such a pleasure in my life!

So today we had a meeting with the Specials teachers to try and decide how we would have our "team" get a web presence on D15/Riverwood website. I had started a webpage 2 years ago in Google, but it was very difficult for me to figure out how to use. Today I ended up deleting my page out of frustration, and starting anew over here on Weebly.com. It is much more user friendly. I hope I can use this and update it for many years to come!
