Honored and excited to be part of #TeachPlusPhoenixProject Looking forward to learning from and working with so many new educators and from a few I’m already lucky enough to know @klrembert @mrsleban Teach Plus @RRodriguezTPlus Dr. John B. King, Jr. #d64music #d64leadwithlove

Me: Would you rather swim like a fish or fly like a bird? Student A: Both. Me: Would you rather swim like a fish or fly like a bird? Student B: Fly like a fish. Yes, we did Google videos of flying fish after this. #d64music #d64leadwithlove #firstgrade #musiced

Me: Thanks for being patient, friends. My computer is throwing a temper tantrum. Student: Your computer clearly didn't get the message that it is Teacher Appreciation Week. Me:😂 #d64music #d64leadwithlove #secondgrade #musiced

It’s here! 😍 I’m so grateful for the chance to share my own ongoing journey of centering SEL in the music classroom. Hoping this can be a resource for other music educators who are looking to do the same and would like some practical tips. #sel #d64leadwithlove #musiced

So excited and honored to be a participant these two weeks! In just four days I have already learned SO much and have many ideas for incorporating my new knowledge into the general music classroom. #musiceducation #d64music #d64leadwithlove

With few exceptions poetry has always felt out of reach for me. This NEH Education institute with City Lore has me pulling out poetry collections I started but never finished (and finishing them!) and buying many more. #growth #poetry #d64music #humanities #d64leadwithlove

I have a much deeper appreciation for all this beautiful art after A Reverence for Words over the past two weeks. Grateful to NEH Education and City Lore for the chance to grow as a person and bring my new knowledge into music lessons for my students. #d64music #humanities

Just placed my dinner order! Join me in supporting Emerson!

PTO teacher funds paid for four stools that provide more flexible seating options in our classroom. Thank you, Field PTO! 1/4 #musiceducation #d64music #d64leadwithlove

PTO teacher funds paid for luggage tags. These tags are used to number our ukulele cases making the process of taking out & putting away instruments more efficient. Greater efficiency = more time to play! Thank you, Field PTO! 2/4 #musiceducation #d64music #d64leadwithlove

PTO teacher funds paid for IKEA USA utensil holders, which are GREAT for mallet storage! This simple storage solution makes it easier for students to find the correct mallet needed for each instrument. Thank you, Field PTO! 3/4 #musiceducation #d64music #d64leadwithlove

PTO teacher funds paid for new storage to hold our movement materials. The clear drawers make it easy to see what is inside. Even our littlest learners are now quick to get a ribbon for movement exploration. Thank you, Field PTO! 4/4 #musiceducation #d64music #d64leadwithlove

We just did a DNA test. Turns out: It's 100% that [crystal] flute LIZZO played at her D.C. stop on the #SpecialTour tonight. It's safe & sound back at the Library now. Thank you The U.S. Capitol Police for escorting it. Watch this space for more from Lizzo's Library visit. #LizzoAtLOC

Looking forward to our 4th and 5th grade Chorus concert 🎵 tonight at 7pm! They did a great job today during our student performance! #engageD64
