"This will be our final update for the school year although if inspirational ideas pop up over the vacation, I'll be sure to share. Thank you to all of you that embraced the ideas and sang with your classes. I am sure the pupils enjoyed learning this way as well. I have no doubt that many more people are using music and song in the class and my hope that next year we will be able to collaborate on a larger scale. "
This is what I wrote last year at this time and I would love to say that not much has changed. Yet so much has changed and we have been through a different and challenging year of uncertainty coupled with a desire to find new digital solutions and ways that we can continue educating our pupils in the best way possible.
We can handle this...We are teachers!!
I'm an English Teacher - What is your superpower?
Most importantly - Cliff Richards reminds us how it is important to relax in the summer as well. Charge your batteries, family time and time to learn new things.
The last two days I took part in a Summer School for all English Insepctors and Counselors nationwide. An excellent virtual conference that dealt with many of the issues that we need to be facing when the summer is over.

Final Video for this year

Amazing Work
Thanks Jennifer Hoyzman for sharing.
So what did we set out to achieve this year.
The site was costantly updated.
We ran a successful hishtalmut with Matach about Learn in Tune and we will be running another one next year.
We prepared successfully for a huge Learn In Tune concert with The Northern Inspectorate yet unfortunately we couldn't hold the main event. We are looking forward to do this next year again and perhaps in another Machoz as well.
Constant exchange of videos of teachers and pupils enjoying singing together whiilst learning English.
We sang a lot on the National School Broadcasts
We sent out bi-weekly updates
National Conferences with English Libraries from Eilat to Carmiel and more
Carona Parodies, Digital Tools and more.
We also had a lot of fun.
Digital Idea for the week
Bitmoji Classrooms
Teachers Are Creating Virtual Bitmoji Classrooms—Cute and Helpful Too! ... Lots of teachers are building out their classrooms. It's fun, and helpful too! The interactive elements allow students to click through to see assignments, documents, and websites
I know what I am doing in the summer!!
Thank you to Dr Tziona Levy for her constant advice and enthusiasm
Thank you to the teachers who want to sing and enrich the pupils' learning and actively take part in sending short clips to show us what you are doing in the field.
Enjoy a well deserved holiday and we will catch up with you late August at the start of the new year.
