It was so wonderful to have the @csmsknights orchestra perform for our fourth graders this morning! They sound wonderful! 🎶🎻

Elf is by far the best Christmas movie! 🎶🎄 #CSISD12

[Jessica O'Brien @OBrienMusicRoom]

Seeing and teaching 1/3 of the school every day can be overwhelming, so I greet students at the door by welcoming them to music class and singing a welcome song #CSISD12

[Jessica O'Brien @OBrienMusicRoom]

@marladgoodwin I haven't heard of this! This would be so useful when setting up lessons

@Brittan10714967 Same! Do you have the extension in your browser? You can make notes while scrolling through another website!

[Jessica O'Brien @OBrienMusicRoom]

I love the Google Keep extension on Google Chrome. From the extension, you can make notes about the website you're visiting, and Keep will save the website with the note! Very convenient #CSISD12

[Jessica O'Brien @OBrienMusicRoom]

The RP staff is what makes our school awesome! #CSISD12

Third grade made a Thanksgiving plate with rhythms and are playing what they wrote on the recorder 🎶

[Jessica O'Brien @OBrienMusicRoom]

The wait is over! Everyone has been sorted and has received their recorder! Yay! #TheRecorderChoosesTheWizard

[Jessica O'Brien @OBrienMusicRoom]

Third graders have been anxiously waiting to start recorders. Only a few days until our sorting ceremony so we can start playing! 🎶
