This year is my seventh year of teaching, and my third year in the Maize School District. </span><span style="font-family:georgia;">Some of my teaching accomplishments include receiving the Kansas State Department of Education's (KSDE) Horizon Award, the ING Unsung Heroes Award, six SONIC Limeades for Learning Awards, and receiving several other grants for my music classroom. </span></div><br /><div><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia;">Throughout the school year we will have special themes. All weekly lessons will include a M&M activity (Music and Movement), STILL (Silent Time for Individual Listening Link), W.O.W. (Words Of the Week), and several songs. Some of my planned themes for this year are Jazz, Mallet Madness, Opera, Bach to the Future, and Spirituals. </span></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia;">We will also be using technology each week. Every Friday is “Music Madness” and all students will rotate through different music centers. An iPod center, computer center, Promethean center, and a DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) center. </span></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia;">When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my husband Charles and my two boys Warren (6) and Ethan (4). My husband Charles has been a teacher for the last nine years in the Wichita School District. He teaches 2nd grade at Kensler Elementary. As a family we enjoy hiking the nature trails at Pawnee Prairie Park, riding bikes, and visiting the zoo. </span></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia;">My favorites...<br />Bible Verse- Psalm 66:4<br />Color- Red or Pink<br />Flower- Peony’s, Lilacs, and Tulips<br />Fast Food- Sonic, Freddy's Frozen Custard, Schlotzsky’s and Quiznos<br />Restaurant- Texas Road House or Outback<br />Drink- Root Beer and Dr. Pepper<br />Snacks- Sunchips, Carmel Popcorn, and Trail Mix<br />Ice Cream- Mint Chocolate Chip or Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough<br />Places to Shop- Tuesday Morning, Target, and Perfect Peace<br />Magazine- Family Fun, Taste of Home<br />Collections- Nutcrackers, Children's Picture Books and CD's, and Rubber Music Stamps<br />Hobbies- Sewing, Cooking, Scrapbooking, and Singing!!! </span></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia;">I am looking forward to an exciting year in the music classroom. </span></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia;">Mrs. S</span></p></div></div></div></div></div>Mrs. Swedberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14756570602461297314noreply@blogger.com0
