It started with a single crystal gifted by a sweet coworker. Every other crystal and sea shell has been brought to me by a student. Kids express their love in so many ways! If you’re wondering what’s next to my tray, it’s an African time saver called firikyiwa. #lovemystudents

Thank you, Blooket! Things that are boring to practice, like knowing which piano key is which pitch, are no longer boring! My students showed great mastery today of this, and knowledge of accidentals! Rising Star Elementary ⭐️ #blooket

The CUTENESS 🥰🤩 Jenny Peterson does it again with this 1st Grade Musical. It was “Oceans of Fun!” 🌊🐟🐠🦀🐙

We did a fun note reading ‘decode the room’ activity in third grade. Students showed mastery of reading notes on the treble staff. Way to go!!! Rising Star Elementary ⭐️

We welcome our new Kinder and Pre K Stars tonight with a kickoff and Jenny Peterson brought ALL the joy and cuteness with this Kinder concert 🥹🫶 it was the biggest HIT! Rising Star Elementary ⭐️

Just a few of our super cool dances from my perspective 🥰 Rising Star Elementary ⭐️ #talentshow

Music teachers rock! What a great day with these awesome people. SM School District

Today was a very good day 💙🌟 Rising Star Elementary ⭐️ #youbelonghere

First day of music for this 6th grade crew, and they’re already creating and collaborating! This is my first group I’ve had since kindergarten at Rising Star. I love all of my students, but I’ve watched this crew grow up 🥰 #YouBelongHere Rising Star Elementary ⭐️

Feeling so happy 🥰 Ms. Keri Schulteis Rising Star Elementary ⭐️ #YouBelongHere

‘We both have curls today, twinning!’ and asked for a selfie. You got it sweetie! I might be exhausted, but my cup is overflowing 💗 #bestjobever #happyfriday

Tonight was the best 💙🤩 Rising Star Elementary ⭐️

Students played in canon, as well as doing a call and response, while also learning about form in music. They were, to put it simply, awesome. Rising Star Elementary ⭐️ #lovemyjob #funfriday #youbelonghere

Students took a three part speech piece and set each part to instruments. They chose how to perform, made revisions, and offered feedback to each other. So. Stinking. Cool. Rising Star Elementary ⭐️ #LoveMyJob #TheseKidsAreTooCool

Today was so good. So so so so good. And, the cherry on top, these amazing 6th graders stayed after school with me for our first choir of the year! They asked to take. Group photo and we almost had the perfect shot and then down a few went 😂 Rising Star Elementary ⭐️ #LoveMyJob #Choir

It’s amazing what kids can do in 22 minutes, don’t ya think? Rising Star Elementary ⭐️

We just want to give a HUGE shout-out to our Teacher of the Year Building representative, Jenny Peterson! We are so excited for her to have this recognition. Thank you for helping every kid at Rising Star to shine 💫 We love you Jenny Peterson ! 🩵🫶

1. Fill up a jar with nice notes. 2. When kids ask what they are, tell them to take one. 3. Watch them smile ear to ear when they read a kind message! Rising Star Elementary ⭐️ #lovemyjob

Love my west area crew! Each of these amazing people are an amazing asset and blessing and help me grow! #plc
