My teaching goal is simple: grow GOOD musicians who are EVEN BETTER people. In my classroom you’ll find me teaching about & thru music, with a sharp focus on empathy, equity, & a combination of accountability & grace. If you can, please help #clearthelist

Hey, y’all! @babe_perales’s students need some snack support. Can we help her #clearthelist so her students can have full bellies and focus even better?. (Also, I get it! I don’t think my posts are reaching out too far either. It’s so hard!).

I think my posts are not getting out there. only 27 saw this. I'm engaging with other posts. Other than buying the blue check (which, I'll be honest, is unlikely to happen), what can I do to boost visibility?. #clearthelist #help.

The majority of my students are Latino. I am always looking for ways to honor and celebrate them so I would *love* to get these puppets to use in my music classes. I know they’re a big ask, but maybe a group of friends could chip in $5 each and send one.

Who loves boring, utilitarian items? Look, these aren’t fun or colorful or memory-making, but they’re necessary & relatively inexpensive. Hoping someone can send a set or two of these ho-hum helpers to north-central Illinois. Thanks!.#clearthelist

Let’s do a check-in today. Hop on over to Annie’s account and let her know. #TeachersofX, do you use something like this? I’d love to incorporate it, but it’d need to be quick and usable for multiple ages since I teach music. #SEL #checkin.

Let’s do a ā€œleast-likely-to-get-donated-because-they’re-boringā€ #ClearTheList thread? šŸ˜…. I’ve had amazing donations, but once unboxed, I need safe storage. I teach kinders with limited safety awareness. Organized = safe. šŸ“¦ Show me your boring stuff! šŸ—‚ļø

PreK teachers set the foundation for a love of school. They are heroes- trust me- I see them in action. Let’s help Amanda get what she needs for her class so she can focus on her family, too. #clearthelist.

I’m a pre-K teacher this year. As you know we have to buy most of our stuff. As a single mom to 3 that is pretty hard. I’m buying stuff for them and class stuff. I try to help bless others also. I’m needing help I have a lot of things needed. #clearthelist

Please don’t forget those who are specialists when it comes to #clearthelist. Many of us serve a WHOLE SCHOOL but aren’t allowed any sort of supply list. PE, art, music, counselors, bilingual, ELL (Eng lang learners), speech, library, special education… the list goes on. Thanks.

Again, @ChalkboardAnnie giving her time and talents (she’s got a way with words, y’all!) to help our students. If you’re able, scroll through and find a teacher/grade/mission/location with which you resonate and help #clearthelist. Every single purchase helps our students.

New post for Saturday! Drop your lists. I know many lists were shopped from yesterday's post because some of them were me. 🤣. Can't fiscally support? No problem. Reply, heart, RT, or Quote RT can help just as much, if not more!
