https://t.co/AHR5MERJ7H For any teacher, this is a great podcast discussing โreadabilityโ of math texts. Lots of excellent points, especially for elementary age. Please give it a listen! I will be making some changes in my class to implement suggestions.
Band Pre-camp is over 56 hours last week. Full band camp starts tomorrow. They are working harder than ever! Competitions will be amazing this year!! Go STARS! ๐
I have noticed a theme in many of our schools of not wanting to repeat last year. I wrote this open letter from my heart-feel free to share with others. Yes, we need an education re-set we need to work on consistency and hold each other accountable.

Derek Young, gave an amazing speech that EVERYONE could learn from. He challenged students to keep these two words in mind throughout their livesโฆ..BE NICE!
Three ways to BE NICE:
1. Wake up with gratitude every day, this will start your day off right and lead to being nice
2. Mentor others โ no matter how young or old you are you have something to offer others.
3. Acknowledge peopleโ say good morning, hello, smile, ask how they are AND truly listen.
Iโd love to hear him speak again, he was phenomenal!
