Students Investing in Others
I just wanted to take the time to share something exciting that happened in my classroom at Dixie the other day. Because of scheduling I have about 20 minutes of time in which 7th grade band class time and 6th grade band activity time overlap. Most days I have students work individually or in groups depending on the assignment as I walk the room listening to the different individuals or groups.

She adopted an owl for our classroom. The owl's name is Emma and she is a barn owl who lives in a…

iPad, iPod, Kindle (or any e-reader), smart phones, netbooks, etc. All excellent resources that many of our students have. While I understand the reasoning for banning students having these things in class before, I find myself asking more and more,…
