Sound of Music Unit Giveaway-Enter until 1/30/24 midnight

I am a Sound of Music nerd.  

I've watched it hundreds of times.  

I went to Austria and did the Sound of Music bus tour in Salzburg and stayed in one of the filming locations near where the children fell into the lake wearing curtains as play clothes.

I taught about the Sound of Music for 30 years as part of my curriculum in middle school and tied into real world history, and it led to many awesome conversations and lots of learning about both music and history.

So, I created a unit to share with you and your students, and it is offered in my store on Teachers Pay Teachers, and I am giving it away on January 30th, 2024.  Everyone who enters the giveaway will receive an email from me on the morning on 1/30 with an announcement of the winner PLUS, as I have done for years with S-Cubed Sight Singing Program for Beginners, I will tell you in the email how to get the Sound of Music Unit for 50% on 1/31/24.  AND, included in this one day offer, I will also let you know how to get the Google Slides Version of S-Cubed for 50% off on 1/31/24.

Teachers Pulling Together for the Kids and their Families

It's January in Mississippi, and it's time for Allstate Chorus and the MMEA/MCDA Allstate Concert, and of course, you would expect snow and ice to disrupt it, right?

I mean...in Hattiesburg, the average January high temperature is 62 and the average low is 39.  

Well, this year, snow and ice came...along with cold temperatures afterward leading to no melting and lots of disruptions...from members of leadership, accompanists, teachers, and sadly many students who made the Allstate Chorus not getting to be a part of the event after auditioning, making it and learning the music.  

Everything and everyone shifted focus and the teamwork kicked in.  Everything still ran like clockwork.  It was so impressive.  This organization is top notch in every way, and I was honored to be there and to get to watch it in action.  

Sorry for the stress they endured as they navigated the changes....but it was so awesome to see the people in MMEA/MCDA are doing so much great work for the students and for their families.  

It's what teachers do every single day, actually.  ....Pivoting at a moment's notice and re-configuring the lesson plan.

The opportunity to be a clinician in Mississippi brought me great joy, and I certainly hope it brought joy to the children and their families.  I hope the teachers received children in their classrooms Monday who heard reinforcements of everything you've been teaching...and I hope they have fire in their belly to keep singing!
