Specials

**Though specials teachers were not responsible for devising SMART goals for literacy instruction, they did have time to collaborate with their colleagues about their instructional practice and meeting the needs of individual students.

Highlights/Insights/Successes From the 2008-2009 School Year:** Art-- I would say one of my PLC successes would be the magazine/yarn weaving project. The art teacher over at East is a fiber artist and she came up with this cool idea for a project. I liked it because it involved recycling magazines, and the students love to weave. The project was very successful and the East art teacher came up to me during an LPS district art show and complimented my students' weavings on how great they were. Another PLC success would be all of the art teachers working together on what processes and projects work best with students; we are not always "re-inventing the wheel" when it comes to teaching art.

P.E.-- Our PLC time has been a database for us to share best practices for our students. Our time together, as physical educators, has been invaluable!
