My 6-year-old son W finished SummerQuest through @alexlibraryva about a month ago and got to see his first @Nationals game today with the tickets he earned by reading! Thanks for encouraging kids to read through this fun summer program. @JohnAdamsElem

When you have the same spirit day as your own kindergartener (at different schools, obviously!) #RedRibbonWeek #RedRibbonWeek2021 #PajamaDay #TJMSRocks @JeffersonIBMYP @JohnAdamsElem
I'm really excited and honored to have been selected to present at this year's @VirginiaMusicEd conference! My session is called "Culturally Responsive and Equitable Teaching Practices in the Ensemble Classroom (and How to Document Them for Your Evaluation)"
Spending time today with all of my @TJMSBand classes to review the incredible showcase of American Arts from yesterday's Inaugural Celebrations. THANK YOU to @marineband and @TheAmandaGorman and everyone behind the scenes for helping me inspire the next generation of artists.
20 (!) years ago today, I performed in the 2001 Inaugural parade with @JMUMRD. At the time, I hadn't really realized the significance of the 2000 Presidential election. Regardless, it was an honor to perform in such an important ceremony for our nation.

This is AMAZING! We had expected the boys would be in the hospital through January!
We have GREAT NEWS! As of this morning Eli & Jacob have been discharged from the hospital to go "home" to their townhouse in Philadelphia. Read more in today's blog: cota.org/campaigns/COTAforEa…

SO EXCITED that @MicrosoftTeams finally has breakout rooms!! I found out about them during lunch and was able to use them for peer coaching with my 6th graders. They were SO easy to use and will be crucial to help differentiate for my students!
I love listening to my students' projects in @soundtrap! Some of the @TJMSBand 6th graders just started using it today, but already they're getting really creative. (This sounds like a creepy horror-movie Christmas soundtrack.) Looking forward to more creation and collaboration!
Someone (who may or may not live in my household) finished out #GivingTuesday fundraiser #2 for @COTAforEandJ yesterday. So, as promised, here are the rest of my photos.

Update: Only $74 left to finish out the second fundraiser! If we get to the finish line and I'll post more pics!
Finish out the second #GivingTuesday fundraiser ($114 left) and I'll reveal the rest! Laser backdrop, Glamour shots, and Pageant photos!

Only $34 left to close out the first fundraiser! Once we hit the goal I'll release either my 7th grade photo OR my Glamour Shot from circa 1995.
Found some truly embarrassing photos of myself today. Laser backdrop, perm/vest combo, Glamour Shots. If my friends finish out the last $64 of this #GivingTuesday FR for @COTAforEandJ I'll reveal one. For that PLUS the $114 of the 2nd, I'll reveal the set. #COTAHope #TwoZebraKids
