GIS 5th graders are wrapping up their new knowledge of all things musical theater with a little game of @PlayBlooket. Their screams are out of pure competition and excitement!!

“Band just keeps getting more and more fun with everything we do!” -6th grader

The kids are starting to get it.

Simple words to make my day great!

MIS 5th graders identified the form of Sleigh Ride using Apple Pages graphics. Students chose the symbols they wished to represent each section of the music, a fantastic visual representation tool! So easy! #everyonecancreate #gcscpride #GCinnovator @loriannkatz @MeganCThompson

@ToddWhitaker Nope! I hope it is heated!

[Brooke Basso @GCBassoBeats]

Pass the beat around the room!

Students LOVE this elimination game of trying to work together while independently contributing to the success of the ensemble! #futurebandkids #musicrocks

[Brooke Basso @GCBassoBeats]

Active listening!! How often can you say you listen to music to actually LISTEN to the music, without doing other activities?
These students are learning how to be active listeners and critics of what they hear! No distractions! Try it sometime🙂 #lifelonglearning #musictherapy

I hope someone extended Betsy a job offer to substitute teach in a public junior high school. @teachergoals @Bored_Teachers

@teachergoals Dear Chris Wallace,

Welcome to what it’s like to teach elementary kids. You have a plan, it blows up into constant interjections and you just move on because you’re accomplishing nothing.

Please send one of them into the hallway and take away recess.
