Me: Who remembers how to set up the stage? Ss: <crickets>. Grade 7s and 8s made it happen with amazing analysis, problem solving, and teamwork! #persist #think #lifesizepuzzle #besafe #talentshow #wedidit @mskeeleychow @rvsed @heronscrossing

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Push yourself! You've got this!

@AndrewkDoyle May the Fourth be with you.

Class 6C @Cchapin85 learning to play the bodhran with the talented #LucindaWarnock. Happy to welcome community members back to our classroom. Musical guests are so much fun! #luckoftheirish #StPatricksDay @heronscrossing #musicrocks #rvsed

Last guitar class of the term means it’s time for a campfire. With marshmallows of course! @heronscrossing #musicrocks #guitarist #dontworryitsnotarealfire #rvsed

Practice makes progress! A wonderfully noisy and musical lunchtime with students working and playing. So great to have them back! @heronscrossing #musicrocks #gopractice #rvsed

#pdtc22 Revisiting a game we play in music class through a great session with Russ Baker. Good reminders about laughter, healing, & differences in game play "...I don't see [differences] as right or wrong, I just see them as different."

We can’t go on field trips, so the composer came to us - virtually! Grade 7&8 music students are fortunate to have had live chats with @calgarylibrary Composer in Residence Daniel Pelton this week. So cool! #musicmatters

This sums up why I’m going to miss our annual in-person conference this year. These are Manitoba music educators in 2019. 💗 my music ed conferences! facebook.com/612047533/post…

Live music for the win! Gorgeous day in Calgary for an outdoor concert. ⁦@CanadaCurbside⁩ #yycmusic #howlinpete #autumnvibes

@5HaleyHCS You're right! I already love them!

Took us a while but we are BACK! Stay tuned for happenings in 5H with the new 20/21 crew. Not sure how I got so lucky to have another amazing class this year but I do! You are going to love them as much as I do:) #terryfoxrun #sogladtobeback #thisis2020 #luckyteacher
