Two to go. I did my second video taping session today. It went well. I only need about 3 minutes from the 20 recorded that show how I use my musicianship skills to help my students improve theirs. This was a group of 4th and 5th graders, only two of whom did not return their release slips and so spent their music time copying song lyrics for our program in their classroom (their teacher said they could stay there and not be in my room!) I sent home 10 release slips yesterday to students who did not return the original ones a month ago or more. I also used our district's mass-calling system to alert the families of these students that the forms were coming home and to please sign them and return them to me today.
I get my first release day on Friday. I'll be spending the time watching my two videos and preparing what I'll write for my entries. Owen will be at daycare all day, then we're going to a friend's house for a playgroup Christmas party. A nice reward for a day of exhausting (mentally at least) work.
I won't be doing another video tape session until January or February, and that one will be for my unit lesson highlighting planning. I'm using my best group in the entire school for that one.
