I was so worried I lost my motivation for the school year and was too drained to go on 🥴 turns out I had an ear infection 😅 take care of yourselves, people!! Thanks for all the resources as usual Becca!! I don't think you can even understand how helpful these are!!

Thank you for all that you do. I am a first year Elementary Music teacher and I am practically doing everything from scratch. I generally play guitar, drums and keyboards. I created "projects" of teaching these instruments for 3rd through 5th grade. I also go through music genres through a timeline. 1920s is Jazz, 1940s country, 1950s blues, 1950 -1960 rock-n-roll etc. So far I am prepping a talent show and easing in my lessons. However, my students are still enjoying them. :)

Great content, as always. Turns out, I was tired. I wanted to remind everyone. It’s ok to simply leave at your scheduled time and not do work at home. I might go back to working off the clock again, but right now with the behavior issues, I’m good. 👍 This is plenty to deal with.

Becca, Don't forget the other thing about the kids being on the same page with you the teacher. Hugs to you !, - Dwight

I am an itinerant music teacher for TK-3rd grade. I have four different schools. I have my own classroom at one site, I push into classrooms at another site and I'm on the stage, sharing with the cafeteria noise at another site. The last site is online instruction. I am beat. This is my first year in a position like this, but I have been in education for 21 years. Are there any other itinerant music teachers out there that work with little kids? Looking for my tribe!
