Fantastick Friday!

Recently, I attended a Student Achievement Partners conference in Denver, CO, that focused on Common Core State Standards.  When I returned from the conference, I decided that Friday would be a great day to begin learning our "end of the year/alumni" song, "Try to Remember."

My beginning choir read the lyrics individually, then I read the lyrics to the class.  Next, we answered questions about vocabulary (with citations from the text).  Students began to make more connections and excel at literacy!!!

On top of all that, the beginning choir learned the entire song in only one period!  I have some rockstars in the choirs this year!
