Students work harder for teachers who value, care and respect them. And Adults do too! Relationships before rigor.

What’s a music teacher to do with a high energy group at the end of the day? Bunny hop of course! All included, all moving, and if I had hidden faces you couldn’t see the joy! Best moment of my day 💗 Kristy Gorecki @RoneshaT BaltimoreCoMusic PerryHallES

Music is amazing. These PerryHallES 5th graders are AH-mazing but we’re all ready for break and they’re a bit high energy. Watch how they sing their spring concert song—SO calm and tender. It moves them 💗 Baltimore County Public Schools BaltimoreCoMusic Whitney Elliott @RoneshaT

Shake, scrape, tap percussion—recycled items compared to classroom instruments BaltimoreCoMusic PerryHallES @RoneshaT Whitney Elliott

Music room stations are starting to be more “review” which is a fun thing to observe. Sorting by color, then putting back in labeled bins, high and low on flocks, making shakers…we’ve come a long way, baby!

Enjoying the beautiful weather with our sound stations. Finding ways to shake scrape and tap BaltimoreCoMusic PerryHallES

I work among really STELLAR educators, so to be singled out as a teacher of the month PerryHallES by @RoneshaT and Whitney Elliott is pretty humbling and I am very grateful. Baltimore County Public Schools BaltimoreCoMusic
