For example, when we are learning \ninformation about a new artist,&nbsp;genre, composer, etc, I will put \nquestions on the board. We will read them out loud before the\n song, video, lesson etc. Then, I will ask students to get into &#8220;elbow \npartners&#8221; and discuss the questions on the board. When they have \ndiscussed all the questions, they put their hands on their heads. Then, I\n use my Random Picker to ask students to answer\n the question. (I&nbsp;do NOT call on volunteers because I am checking for \nfull participation by all.) They can also ask their partner. If neither \nof them knows the answer, they say pass. They are very engaged during \nthis process and lots of dialogue is happening\n using key vocabulary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/gary.defrang\/files\/2019\/03\/IMG_2162.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-574\" \/><figcaption>It&#8217;s Pi Day!  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pam and I were discussing how cool it is that class sets of color copies are not being printed via our printer in the Media Center <strong>($.50 a copy!)<\/strong> and how people are being so thoughtful due to the cost of color copies in considering whether a non-color copy can be used instead.  Our budget is always super tight and this helps us out!

Each year around this time we hit a stretch in our district when more personal days are being used while illness and other substitute needs remain constant.  Recently there have been day<strong>s<\/strong> in which <em><strong>over<\/strong><\/em><strong> 30<\/strong> substitute requested positions in the district were not able to be filled.   We have learned that on <strong>Fridays <\/strong>and <strong>Mondays<\/strong>,  substitute jobs that are requested day-of after 6:00 AM, will likely go <strong>unfilled<\/strong>.  Thank you for doing all you can to make sure your position fills in the event you are not able to be here.   A couple of tips from our sub-whisperer, Pam:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If you have any questions about how to use Subfinder<strong> <\/strong>see her today (really, please don&#8217;t wait until you are not feeling well and need to try and navigate this system) <\/li><li>Calling subs on your own is a great practice, but if you have not located someone by 8:00 on the eve of when you need to be gone, please enter the absence in Subfinder.  <\/li><li>Always let Pam know either by email or phone if you are not able to be at work .<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/gary.defrang\/files\/2019\/03\/IMG_2159.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-570\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>                            <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Week at a Glance for March 18th-22nd<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monday: &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Drum Residence continues<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuesday:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>PLC Meetings to discuss and plan for conferences.
