Week At A Glance
May 21-27, 2016
Daily check of Week at a Glance
- Opening Dance- “hardest” part, but I need at least 10 on stage at the beginning and then maybe 5-8 more teachers at least to volunteer to move from the audience up onto the stage and dance.
- Zombie Chase- this is for all of you non-dancers J You chase someone (yes, I need a volunteer) slowly around the stage and you catch them in a circle- VERY simple dance moves of arms down and then up.
- Ending- It’s the same as the end part of the opening dance, but easy… I would love to have everyone who participates up on stage if possible. If not, you can be off to the side acting like a zombie until it’s time for us to walk off the stage.
Rehearsals: I will get here every morning by 6:55 and can begin rehearsal for 15 minutes from 7-7:15 (then I have car duty) through the day of the performance. Realistically not everyone will make it every morning, but it’s a good time to review and practice with anyone who can show up! Between now and the performance if you can make it to 3 rehearsals that will be more than enough.
We are going to have 'dress rehearsal' Tuesday and Wednesday, 5/24-25, before and afternoon in the gym. Even if it is your first time, please come join us. We would love to have EVERYONE involved! Even Mr. Schoeff and Mrs. Day are getting in on the action!! :)

End of the Year Processes - Missing/Damaged Textbooks
Missing/Damaged Textbooks
- Email me the name of the student, title of the textbook and I will prepare an invoice to the parent. I will need this before May 27th.
- If you are an IA that I loaned a textbook to use - please return it to me
- If you have a student that has an IEP and signed for a Home Set of Textbooks – these must be returned to me directly so I can mark them as returned, do not accept them into your “pile” or I will automatically bill the parent.
- If you are keeping your textbooks in your room over the summer, I will need the Title and qty # so I can compile a list so it will be easier when we return to know where everyone stands.
Thanks all for now – I’m sure I will have more as we get close. ~Michele

HSE Teaching and Learning
A few weeks ago, some of us wrote about rigor and ended the blog with an invitation for you to contribute your thoughts. We heard back from many of you.
This week we chose three perspective on rigor. Two come from elementary teachers and one from a high school teacher. We start with a story of one of our HSE graduates that we believe you will find interesting.

Have a great week, HSE!
