Dropping the needle on learning!
Henryville Elementary School's sixth graders in Mrs. Riggins' English/reading class traveled back in time for #FlashbackFriday. Each week, students watch a single music video from past decades and flex their analytical writing skills to craft quick music reviews under guided guardrails Mrs. Riggins reviews from their classroom anchor chart, including some music vocabulary that Mrs. Barnett, the HES music teacher, was able to suggest for students to use in their reviews 🎧📝
This activity is a "quick write," where students practice generating structured written responses within a short time window, and a music review is a form of persuasive writing/critique where students must state an opinion or claim about the song and support it with observations, while following set writing guardrails. This activity hits multiple sixth grade Indiana Academic Standards in a low-stakes environment that takes less than ten minutes with high student engagement.
These sixth grade music critics are hitting all the right notes!

Public Input Requested
Our district is preparing to renew Ed-Flex Waiver #2, a state-approved flexibility framework that directly impacts our ability to recruit and retain high-quality classroom paraprofessionals across all four of our schools.
Traditionally, federal guidelines require instructional support staff to hold a specific number of college credits prior to hiring—even if those credits are entirely unrelated to education or childcare. By renewing this waiver, our district can instead prioritize what matters most: hiring candidates with real-world experience working with children, and providing them with robust, embedded job training as they work alongside our students. This flexibility is essential for maintaining the vital academic interventions and daily classroom support our students deserve.
How You Can Help: As part of the official application process, the state requires us to gather public feedback. Your input is an essential piece of this submission and demonstrates local community support to state reviewers.
Please take less than three minutes to share your thoughts via our brief feedback form: 👉 https://forms.gle/UWa7HHsHXSrt7XSf9
