@129FineArts Just finished live streaming The Shining Lives. Amazing job @WAtheatre2013 !

[BarnettMusic @BarnettMusic1]

Loving The Burnout Cure by @ChaseMielke ! Laugh out loud moments from a teacher who 'gets it', as well as tangible, life-changing advice. Looking forward to hearing him tomorrow as one of our keynote speakers! #129learns

Enjoying https://t.co/lbXYLaiWAx 's Growth Mindset Hub podcasts for my Instructional Practice course. Belief becomes action which becomes growth. Did you know when you make a mistake more synapses fire & there is more growth in your brain than just getting it right the 1st x!

1/2 While we are w/out the #Orff instruments in remote learning we can still use the methodology: exploration, imitation, improvisation & the modalities: visual, aural, kinesthetic & tactile movement... (Pictured @NicholsonEagles create their own instruments to explore rhythms)

[BarnettMusic @BarnettMusic1]

This is what a remote classroom looks like (music class, @129FineArts ), but what it doesn't show is my @NicholsonEagles students' smiling faces, their laughter, their singing, and the togetherness we share, even though we are apart. #remoteteachersrock

Thanks, Jen Bernal for reading from @burgessdave and @burgess_shelley 's picture book "P is for PIRATE: Inspirational ABC's for Educators" to our @NicholsonEagles Staff. Today's "I is for Iceberg" had me tearing up! Teachers do so much more than teach.

Another great #SummerPD129 on using @Seesaw skills with @MrsLeo129 . Fantastic way to track growth in students.

[BarnettMusic @BarnettMusic1]

Thank you @techingin for our Summer PD on the @seesaw updates. Very informative! Looking forward to working with these new ideas. #SummerPD129

A few examples of our Final Music Compositions, per age group from Sol-Mi to Pentatonic. We were still able to do this remotely! So proud of my @NicholsonEagles & their creativity tackling this tough assignment, some performing them on recorders and keyboards! @129FineArts

Writing your own melodies, using a three line staff and small markers for notes, and using food items to make your own 4-beat rhythm! Thanks @WhatsOnTheMusi1 for these fantastic remote-learning ideas! #handsonlearning

Looking forward to Field Day later this week! @JesseRocha73 @NicholsonEagles #specialsteachersrock

Goal Complete! Finished today! "I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss...." #Dickens #129reads

[BarnettMusic @BarnettMusic1]

Along with e-teaching and helping my own children with e-learning, I've challenged myself to read something I haven't read before. How are you using this time? "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times....it was the spring of hope..." #learningneverstops #129reads

[BarnettMusic @BarnettMusic1]

Ready for our car parade! @NicholsonEagles

[BarnettMusic @BarnettMusic1]

A few more... #blessed @NicholsonEagles

"G is for Game Day" #alphabetcountdown Thank you, @jchwll for inviting us to your class Zoom meeting. I had a blast playing a Scattergories type game with my 5th Grade @NicholsonEagles "Songs starting with the letter B!" I may have had the advantage, being the music teacher...

[BarnettMusic @BarnettMusic1]

“A is for Art Day” in our @NicholsonEagles alphabet countdown! Thank you, @Mrs_Antczak and student council for your creativity in making this calendar! Enjoy my family’s sensory art, “Earth and Sky”. We used finger paints, cotton balls, pine cones & cookie cutters. @jenleek82

[BarnettMusic @BarnettMusic1]

Looking through my Grit Presentation slides, I remembered this, @sd129 2019-2020 year motto by @jcraig129 . I added the "Deliberate Practice" method, similar to our Learning Pit initiative. Hope you are encouraged today, wherever you are in the process. #elearning2020

[BarnettMusic @BarnettMusic1]

@lesleypretkelis @Seesaw Wish you were, as well as my kids' district @ipsd204 Seesaw has been a lifesaver for Specials! Kids are loving it and responding. It has been a fantastic way to connect with them and continue the learning process. Thanks @mcikesh

[BarnettMusic @BarnettMusic1]

Thanks to @Seesaw teaching music remotely is a success! I've had over 180 responses/conversations in the last 3 days! So blessed to be able to communicate with my students! So much fun creating assignments! https://t.co/HmCGiStX8U

@BarnettMusic1 @Seesaw I'm jealous!!! Wish we were part of the seesaw bandwagon! Looks so fun!!
