@OliverDWolf @StephenKing @shillman1 I’m sorry, I wasn’t listening.

@readingg8r We had the same situation at my school. Word came down from ‘on high.’ District office, Fine Arts Supervisor, Principals, individual schools. Yet classroom teachers allowed it to happen. When I voiced my concern to admin, she giggled. 🤬

@DoReMiDivnick @DocStrong26 Can we make this a Tik Tok?

[Amanda Johnson @amj88keys]

@DocStrong26 My pre-k and kinders are OBSESSED! Had about a dozen requests for egg shakers, just today!

This fall, whether classes meet in person, online, or both, too many students don’t have internet access at home. That needs to change. Join @NAfME in calling on Congress to close the #homeworkgap https://t.co/bkdukU7AnC #edchat

Self-awareness, self-efficacy, self-management and perseverance, social awareness and relationship skills are central to any arts education activity. Support music and arts education. https://t.co/06ay3mtVLa #ArtsEdIsEssential #musiced

The purpose of school is not childcare *just like* the purpose of music, art, and PE is not to give homeroom teachers planning time. It’s a huge benefit, for sure, but not its purpose.

@mrswoodmusic @MakeMomentsMatt Nice. Although, with online teaching I'd prefer a year-long pass to wear sweatpants!😜

[Amanda Johnson @amj88keys]

I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with many wonderful educators. Those I’ve worked with in every school, level & state have shared their unique perspectives allowing me to continue shaping my own journey.

@DocStrong26 Solid 3, pushing 4. Kinda like how I like toast. It’s a texture thing.
