Hi! My name is Christy Solarczyk, and I teach 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade Vocal Music.

@LHSEaglesBands @LHSEAGLESVA @FCPS1News As a fellow music educator and band Mom, I actually had tears in my eyes, seeing kids on the field with instruments in their hands again. It was beautiful. ❤️

@MrCourtney4 @MpMiddle Great job, everyone! So proud of you! ❤️

@KRMarbury Mississippi Pot Roast in the crock pot. Look it up. You can also sub chicken or pork loin. Fall apart goodness.

@PattyGilham For real! What's with all the rain and temps in the 50's...in May? Come on, 2020. You're killin' me! Congrats on being a grandma!

A5: Continue to connect with kids both in school life and church life. Personally speaking, I wanna up my game and take my workouts to the next level. I'll be super inspired if the scale goes down! Haha! #mpcschat

A4: I love taking care of the fam. I also love serving in my church, Kids Ministry specifically. I've been spending lots of time pouring into my church kids via FB Live book readings and special activities! #mpcschat #sidehustle

@griffin_brie @ann_gwynn Same! I felt so awkward answering this.

@KRMarbury Love thy neighbor attitude! Love it. <3

[Christy Solarczyk @SolarczykMusic]

@Haydenlibrarian Me too, girl. Me too.

@PattyGilham @MPCSVA Patty, you could probably write a book on all of your different roles and experiences over the years! I bet you've seen it all!

A3: Well, I thrive on getting Ss to love music. Every day teaching music feeds my soul. I also really enjoy serving others, so Nourishing Ninjas is my jam. #mpcschat

[Christy Solarczyk @SolarczykMusic]

A2: Keeping it honest, I haven't established a dedicated "work space" at home. We have a really small house, so I'm constantly interrupted. I work wherever it's quiet at the moment! #mpcschat

[Christy Solarczyk @SolarczykMusic]

A1: Nourishing Ninjas deliveries!
I've also tried hard to stay connected to my specialist team, whether it be email, text, or phone. #mpcschat

Christy Solarczyk, MPES Music. :-) #mpcschat

A5: I've learned how to do some different tech things that I never had time for before. Ex: better utilizing Canvas, WeVideo, etc. Lots of free webinars out there, too! I also learned that I was surprisingly tired. Does that count?
Haha! #mpcschat

[Christy Solarczyk @SolarczykMusic]

For what it's worth, just wanna say that we're so lucky to have tech available in our district. Leaps and bounds above many. Can't imagine not having it now! I'm just whiney because I miss teaching music on my terms. Hahaha! #mpcschat

[Christy Solarczyk @SolarczykMusic]

A4: I don't know where to begin with this. Concerts canceled, meaningful music education halted, etc. I'm sad at what music ed has been watered down to. Positive: Our concerts next year are gonna be slammin'! #mpcschat

[Christy Solarczyk @SolarczykMusic]

@_Miss_Rupert Yaaaaaassss! @MissGirvin

[Christy Solarczyk @SolarczykMusic]

A3: I think it is necessary. We can't hold back a wave, can we? It's what our kids know, and we need to meet them where they are, while still reminding them that technology isn't EVERYTHING. I think 100% tech dependency is dangerous! #mpcschat

[Christy Solarczyk @SolarczykMusic]

@MrV_ITRT Don't worry...I'm not zooming with kids! Hahaha! #mpcschat

[Christy Solarczyk @SolarczykMusic]

@MrV_ITRT I'm looking for a solution! I think it's more than just using technology that's right in front of us. It's going to take some time to figure out an easily accessible way for us to interact, musically, with the kids. Zoom ain't cuttin' it. #mpcschat
