@AmyVanSon2 @ITeachChem2 @LaurenAngelone I also was interested in learning about rules surrounding music. I did not know that there were libraries available that are free to use!

@janette_metzger @LaurenAngelone I did not know this either! I thought that you had to apply for your work to be copyrighted.

1/3: After listening to the webinar "Focusing on Young Learners: Tools for Anti-Racist Teaching" I took away several steps that I can implement in my classroom. First, I will observe for conversations related to race, and use those events to teach children about race. #xuedchat

2/3: Second, when reading books related to race, I will engage students in dialogue related to race before, during and after the reading. Then, I will connect the reading to real life. #xuedchat

@LaurenAngelone A1: I did not know that you can use copyrighted music for educational purposes that are not published or shared publicly. #xuedchat

@LaurenAngelone A2: I currently have many children struggling to use a tripod grip. I will begin using pencil grips as an assistive technology to support fine motor development. #xuedchat

@LaurenAngelone A1: A major reason educational policies, such as NCLB, are not effective is because they do not have the necessary resources to support teachers and schools in implementing new measures #xuedchat

I didn't considered teaching until my nephew was born and received beautiful Montessori gifts. As I began learning about the philosophy, I loved the concept that education centers around peace. I want to be a teacher so I can teach his generation how to be peacemakers. #xuedchat
