Text from an email to the music department directors I am working with:
Fellow Music Educators,
As I’ve been surfing the web, I’ve come across a couple resources that I’d like to share.
Sim Music Superstar

This free online game could be something the students will do in a computer lab during the free time of the retreat.
Cooperative writing projects
http://www.schooloftesl.com/publications/cooperativewritingprojects.pdf
As the school’s focus is to improve writing, these are some out-of-the-box ideas we could use to have them writing things that are engaging and fun and not the typical “Write a 5 paragraph essay about ________.”
It is a pleasure working with the three of you!
