Emerson Elementary and a Reception in Marion
Music teacher Jenny Neymeyer, from Emerson Elementary, claps a rhythm for 1st graders to repeat. Jenny had the children demonstrate some amazing skills of listening carefully to the changing music, then moving about the music room according the rhythm they heard. Such great skills that weave through all areas of the curriculum. Excellent work, Jenny!
Our final classroom visit of the day was to Tracy Slaughter's 1st grade room. Tracy's students had just scooted out the door for their recess, so she had a chance to catch her breath and take a few moments to visit with Barb and me. As with an overwhelming number of educators, Tracy shared her concern for the varying abilities and meeting the needs of all her students. Adding to concerns is the additional mounds of paper work to demonstrate in triplicate the progress students are achieving as well as interventions educators are making. Thanks for all you're doing every day for your 1st graders, Tracy! They are lucky to have you leading their class.
Marion Superintendent of Schools Mr. Nick Hobbs stopped by the High School Media Center to bring greetings from the school district. Thanks Mr. Hobbs for your leadership!
My hostess for the day visiting the great things going on in the Marion schools was Barb Tarwater (pictured at left), Marion EA president. Thanks, Barb for your leadership in the association as well as a certified Media Specialist in the Marion High School Media Center. How lucky Team ISEA is to have you as a leader on our team!

A good read. I'm looking for info on the civil war and anything related to it.
