I hope to inspire the love of music in children through singing, dancing, rhythms, instruments, movement, improvisation, and children’s literature integration.

I’m so proud of the journey the 3rd graders have been on as they prepared for their music performance. They worked hard to learn the songs, helped develop hand motions, helped with ideas for lyrics, and learned more about performing. ⭐️ #MusicWithMissL #ReachForTheStars @ccsd93

I love seeing kids engage with nature! Yes, we took some time in music class to hug trees this week! 🌳 We also did #ArborDay chants & songs. 4th & 5th graders learned about layering in music and turned Arbor Day poems into musical performances! 🎢 #MusicWithMissL2024 @ccsd93

Happy Earth Day! 🌏 Students in music classes today participated in various Earth Day songs & instrumental activities. 3rd graders enjoyed going outside for our Earth Day jam where students lead the class in a rap or song using an #EarthDay poem for lyrics. 🌎#MusicWithMissL2024

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss! 🎈(1904-1991) We’ve had fun in music class reading, singing, and rapping Dr. Seuss books. We also tried some silly songs from #TheCatInTheHat song book! Dancing with Seuss books to Seuss songs is always a big hit! #MusicWithMissL2024 @ccsd93 #DrSeuss

It was a good day of learning with my @CCSD93 music teacher friends and hundreds of other music educators from area districts. Thank you to #AllSaintsCatholicAcademy for hosting, to #musicandarts for organizing this event, and to all the great presenters. #MusicWithMissL2024

Some spunky kindergarten groundhogs were singing, dancing, and running from their shadows in music class today! 😎#MusicWithMissL2024 @ccsd93

That moment when your first grade music students take over your snowball rhythms read aloud because they wanted to do the reading! πŸ˜€#WarmFuzzies #SmilingTeacher 😊#MusicWithMissL2024 @ccsd93 @RoyDeShaneIC

All you turkeys, you may want to be on the alert as there are some pretty determined chefs running about out there! #MusicWithMissL2023 #FiveFatTurkeys #MusicIsFun @CCSD93

Happy #WorldKindnessDsy! I can’t help but repost this adorable video from several years ago. These kids are now in fourth grade! #MusicWithMissL2023 #BeKind #KindnessMatters @ccsd93
For #WorldKindnessDay I’m resharing a wee treasure from 2020! These kiddos read some books about kindness and then with a little bit of help wrote and performed their own song about being kind. Every day is a good day to be kind! #MusicWithMissL #KindnessMatters #RDS @ccsd93

Check out this 1st grade composer! πŸ™‚Fall rhythm compositions are being created and performed by all grade levels. It’s so fun to see our young musicians grasping the concepts when presented and practiced in a variety of ways. #MusicWithMissL2023 @ccsd93

Our blacktop compositions on Tuesday were fun! 4th graders worked together in small groups to create a 4 measure rhythm composition, which they could perform however they wanted. Many chose to jump through their composition as they read the rhythms. #MusicWithMissL πŸ™‚ @ccsd93
