https://t.co/exUE4Dsvpr. But hear me out.. don’t “cancel” him. Let’s acknowledge the racism AND the good storytelling, and honor the importance of shared experiences in our culture. (Who remembers a teacher dressing up to read Cat in the Hat? 🙋)

Parents...We are monitoring the weather closely. Should conditions warrant a change in school status for tomorrow you would receive a school messenger call. Please watch this video for our Inclement Weather procedures. https://t.co/FrOAMKrJfR

@StevesMusicRoom I don’t use the words “real” or “actual” but rather “standard” because it is the current standard for professional musicians to read, write and understand written music. Any attempt to visually represent sound is a form of music notation. They’re all “real.”

@Rocky_Mt_Music @RockyMountElem @CobbPerforms @RockyMountPTA Thank you!

[R. Blackmon @RPESmusic]

@ShanaVWhite Seconded! On another note, do you have recommendations of BHM lessons designed by Black folx?

[R. Blackmon @RPESmusic]

@shawnalongo @GMEAorg @mutechteachnet @HalLeonardCorp @HopatAsstSupt @HopatcongSchool Loved it! You did a great job presenting.

@Manny1267 @TeachMrReed @CTULocal1 @ChiPubSchools I don’t know about him, but where I work teachers are required to report to campus even when the students are virtual.

As a teacher, I’m wondering how lawmakers feel as they’re told to hide under desks & stay away from doors for fear of violence. Asking for my students.
