Tweet of the Week:
Want Some Music in Your Classroom?
Mackie Berman
This is Mackie's 6th year WHS. She enjoys drinking coffee, listening to music, going to shows, practicing meditation, and letting go.
Some of Mackie's favorites include:
Song- so many...bands that everyone must listen to include but are not limited to: radiohead, built to spill, the smith's, elliott smith, arcade fire
Food- russell's, bagel and lox, my brother's scrambled eggs
Movie- so many, important movies to note some kind of wonderful, pretty in pink, breakfast club, amelie, i can't remember, but so many...and for obvious reasons of childhood they are important
Finally, Mackie believes, "We need to show up for kids to meet them exactly where they are at."

Pear Deck
Thank you again for participating in the Pear Deck presentation during Early Release. I love this add on for Google Slides because it gives authentic feedback on the lesson while keeping the students engaged. This will especially come in handy for grades 3-5 next year with the new chromebooks! The links below will help you get started and as always contact me with any questions and I will be happy to help.

Pear Deck for Active Classroom: This is a great blog post with videos and classroom examples
Promethean Board in the LRC
You may have noticed a new interactive board in the LRC. These have been proposed by the District to replace the interactive boards in K-2 for next year. If you would like to try out the new Promethean Board feel free to reserve time in the LRC with your class. I would be happy to help with the lesson and show all the great things the board has to offer.
