Vacation DEAD Ahead:

Yes, it's that time of year, and it always feels soooo long to get here, but when we do, I always ask myself, how did that go by so quickly?  It's been a great school year.  Let's kick it in to the finish as we prepare to come back from that week off.  Here's some Polly Bath inspo fun for you.


Learning Walk:

Just a reminder that I will be walking through all arts classes during the week of April 22-26, gathering information regarding tasks planned, content vocab, and grade level expectations.  See you there!

NEASC Visit at Durfee:

Durfee wrapped up their decennial visit this week, and I was so proud to see students from Music Production explain their task with the visiting team.  Here is the lesson they engaged with to produce this high quality work.  PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE COMPONENTS OF THIS LESSON!

ARTS EXPO Ahead:

Art teachers are busy preparing for the annual HUGE EXPO.  Teachers, please continue to use your CPT/Dept time to prepare for this event, and let me know if you need anything.  When we return from break, we will send families the flyers to invite them to the event!

Focus for Term 4 PLC:

We will dive back into our work around planning for academic conversations in 6-12 CPT/PLCs.  Specifically, we will collaboratively work on building tasks that are driven by not only great Content Objectives, but also Language Objectives.  If you are not yet familiar with Language Objectives, here is a short clip explaining what they are!


Have a wonderful break!
