My sixth grade live sessions never fail to lift my spirits! They are hilarious and just love to talk to me. A highlight of our class: "off-topic topic of the day" at the end to just chat about anything. Today's topic was favorite Christmas movies 😊

@MsNystedtMusic I love Silver Bells! I taught it to my 3rd graders for our town tree-lighting one year and was pleasantly surprised when so many of them declared it their new favorite Christmas song :)

@girlconductor Will there be a way to listen to this online? It sounds like a great show!

[Emily Zaruba @MsMusic0313]

To every teacher who has been working from home this whole time and been even remotely productive: you are amazing! After one week, I'm in awe of those who have been doing this for months.

I'll be using this as a listening example next week to teach about vowel shapes and breath control. Hope this blesses someone's timeline with a moment of peace 💖

@rebelmusicteach I did (in 2012) but I know that's unusual. I worked very hard to get a prestigious full-ride scholarship because I was terrified of debt and knew I wouldn't be making much as a music teacher. I fully support debt cancellation / free college for all.

Happy Friday the 13th! Thanks to Mr. Rogers for taking some of the scariness away from this day :)

“His name was King Friday XIII. We just thought that was fun because so many people are so superstitious about Friday the 13th that we thought, let’s start children out thinking that Friday the 13th was a fun day. And every Friday the 13th would be his birthday.”

The kids are alright 💖

My listening example for next week. I thought I would share in case anyone else could use a few moments of pure beauty in their day 💖

[Emily Zaruba @MsMusic0313]

One of my best online learning moments this year: a student absolutely LOVED this week's listening example and thanked me (in the assignment) for assigning it. #smallwins #musiced

@chelsiee4 @ValleCrucisSch @bethel_school I'm pretty sure I need to shop at "Cutie Fruitie"!

This is far and away the best thing that happened on the internet today.

Ok @Nandi_Bushell....Round 2! Every superhero needs a theme song. Here’s one for you! Mad props to The Grohlettes for the background vocals.

Remote learning/Covid has taken away my favorite thing about staff meetings... snacks (that I didn't bring myself)

[Emily Zaruba @MsMusic0313]

Happy September! Even though it's still summer, I'm starting to get that pumpkin spice feeling... 😎

[Emily Zaruba @MsMusic0313]

Hey education friends- I just want to let you know that I love you, I'm praying for you, and I'm trying my best to send good vibes out into the universe for all of you. We are going to get through this!

A good article for all teachers:

[Emily Zaruba @MsMusic0313]

I've ordered 2 books from this list for some summer reading. It's not going to be comfortable or easy, but it's necessary and worth it.

[Truss Leadership @trussleadership]

For my new folks, who keep asking me “which books do I read?”
1️⃣ ask a white person
2️⃣ read & talk w/ them
3️⃣ check our this list
4️⃣ talk w/ more whites folks
5️⃣ start doing something
6️⃣ talk about it w/ white folks
