Observation Around the Corner!
Well, at least it looks like most people are having great experiences with the observations. That's good news because I have mine this week....Tuesday! I am very excited for Jesse to see our recording studio and facilities...and the class 'in-action!' Our class will have had a test on the Monday prior to Jesse's visit so I had planned a session of critical listening drills and music appreciation as sort of a 'lighter' day. I usually will not start a new unit the day after a test. I hope that she enjoys the visit, as there is not a lot to see when the kids are in the headphones. But, we DO have good discussion in between listens, and especially when we discuss the music. I was considering changing the plan for the day but after speaking with Jesse at Saturday's class she made me feel better about the whole observation. So now, after reading some other blogs, I have much less stress about the whole thing! Twas good to see most of you in class Saturday, though I wish the rest of you were there as well! Everybody keep up the good work and take care. Crockett, out.
Jessie's observation visit to BHS went so well for me, and it sure sounds like you have an interesting class for her already prepared. She really surprised me during her visit! It was rewarding for me to get to know her in a different setting (MY arena). She explained to me how liberal she becomes during the observation mode...just a check in the yes or no column to see if things are” done in the NTI format". Your observation will be great; you will see...Kim WW
