Post Halloween some important reminders, Learning Skills journal, learning in Orff

David was the winner of our class Jack O'Lantern.  I hope that David, the rest of the class, and the pumpkin enjoyed a pleasant evening of Trick or Treating.


Learning Skills Journal:

This was  the next phase of looking at the Learning Skills and Work Habits section of the Progress Report/Report Card.  Each student had a blank copy of this page and did a self-assessment, which I will include on this page of the Progress Report.  This is just a sample I did with them to give them a sense of direction.  

They had this chart, which has been up, to help guide them through some of the complex language in Learning Skills/Work Habits page:










Orff:  Making progress

It has taken a while, but the class is now growing into an enthusiastic mass of participants!  In the process, I am learning a thing or two about music.
