We had a little time after our last sessions today to explore our nation's capital. Turns out it rains here. That surprised the San Diegans. #drippingwithpatriotism #KCAEC2023 #KCED @CETAatKC @Edrick_Rhodes

And we're back at it again this morning learning how to make our classrooms more dynamic for diverse learners through #storytelling with Sherry Norfolk! Love the sounds coming through the wall from the noisy music workshop next door 😆 #KCAEC2023 #KCED @CETAatKC @Edrick_Rhodes

Look closely. The lamp in my hotel room now has eyes thanks to @SamJayGold 's #puppetry workshop at #KCAEC #KCAEC2023. He gave me some great activity ideas! Watch out #finneyelem students! #MusicClass is going to have an influx of extra puppets next year! @CETAatKC @Edrick_Rhodes

Fantastic workshop with @StuartLStotts in classroom lyric writing. "What you want is to get the students in the habit of contributing because so many of them DON'T." #KCAEC #KCAEC2023 @CETAatKC @Edrick_Rhodes

When some #6thgrade students come in asking to practice during lunch, but I'm teaching #1stgrade #musicclass, I get the big kids to give an impromptu performance! Everybody loved it! #BecauseofArtsEd #CVESDarts #VAPA #FinneyElem #MusicEd #Orff #jazz #MusicEducation @VAPA_CVESD
