Still another great group of fifth graders performing their self-created movement to a piece of music in ABA form. So many creative ideas!! #StudentCreatedMovement #NewHampshireHornpipe #IslipRising @IslipCRES @IslipFPA @NMorriseyteach

[Mr. Baur @CRESMusic]

Another fifth grade class performing the movements they designed themselves to illustrate ABA form in music. So pleased to see the artistry that so many of these students already have! #StudentCreatedMovement #NewHampshireHornpipe #IslipRising @IslipCRES @IslipFPA @loriknudsen3

Fifth grade students performing movements they created in ABA form. So, interesting to see what they came up with! #NewHampshireHornpipe #StudentCreatedMovement #IslipRising @IslipCRES @IslipFPA

When the music room gets a new rug, what do we do? What every single human does on a new rug…. @IslipCRES @IslipFPA #newrug #gottalaydown

@JessicaKellyENL @j_cameronjr @SAANYS @LakeGeorgeArea @zSpace My brother and sister-in-law work at @Bluewatermanor . They have a restaurant there that serves good food if you are looking for something tasty. Right on the water - about eight minutes from The Sagamore.

Fifth graders performing movements that they created on their own. They were so proud of what they did! I loved watching the creative process along the way. Proud teacher today. #isliprising #successatcres #studentcreatedmovement @IslipCRES @IslipFPA @ms_scicutella

Thank you to @MrsCNieves for organizing this wonderful day to remember all of the people who have been affected by #BreastCancer. More meaningful than ever for me this year.

Feelin’ the love at the Power of Pink Day @IslipCRES. #IslipRising

[Mr. Baur @CRESMusic]

Another great group of third graders singing a song and adding pitches from the #Orff instruments to it. Transitions were a word chain created by the class! @IslipFPA @IslipCRES #isliprising #successatcres @bratoftheearth

[Mr. Baur @CRESMusic]

I love this picture. Captures the complete engagement of these wonderful third graders! #successatcres #orff #isliprising @IslipFPA @IslipCRES @bratoftheearth

[Mr. Baur @CRESMusic]

More evidence that I am doing my best to let go and let the students do the creating and to stop just giving them ideas. Here, fifth graders are working in small groups to choreograph movement to a piece of music. #successatcres #isliprising #growthmindset @IslipCRES @IslipFPA

[Mr. Baur @CRESMusic]

@FixingEducation Just got one this year. Seems to be wonderful so far!!

[Mr. Baur @CRESMusic]

Trying harder this year to allow students the freedom to do more creating in class. It’s so incredible to watch students work together, feeling empowered, to make choices and design movements that reflect their ideas and not mine! #successatcres #isliprising @IslipCRES @IslipFPA

[Mr. Baur @CRESMusic]

@ms_scicutella @IslipCRES @IslipFPA We certainly have wonderful jobs. I’m thankful to get to do this with kids everyday and am thankful to work with such amazing classroom teachers. There is no way I could EVER do your job! You rock!

[Mr. Baur @CRESMusic]

5th Graders performing "Out Goes the Rat." Students transfer a known text to the #Orff instruments. They make improvisatory choices within an ABA form. This form also highlights the different timbres of the instruments. #IslipRising #SuccessatCRES #elmused @IslipCRES @IslipFPA

[Mr. Baur @CRESMusic]

Third Graders singing a song and adding corresponding pitches to the melody and changing instruments by speaking a word chain that they created. The energy is incredible! #Orff #IslipRising #SuccessatCRES @IslipCRES @IslipFPA
