mspatricianhfb Mar 1 @ 9:07 PM EST

@svitullomusic Hi Sarah! #elmused

annemileski Mar 1 @ 9:07 PM EST

A1: It can be as easy as a bulletin board or having kiddos read fun facts on the announcements #elmused #MIOSM

mspatricianhfb Mar 1 @ 9:08 PM EST

A1: Put up a bulletin board or talk to the kids/ask them why music is important to them #elmused

annemileski Mar 1 @ 9:08 PM EST

Q2: What are some activities you are doing to promote #MIOSM in class, school or district? #elmused

mspatricianhfb Mar 1 @ 9:14 PM EST

A2: We create a whole school display- this year it’s a tree. Each S/T fills out a leaf that says “I leaf music because…” #elmused

mrscapellan Mar 1 @ 9:14 PM EST

@mspatricianhfb Oh, sorry. Ss... it gets to be pretty involved rehearsals take up most of our March lunch times 😊 But worth it #elmused

desmusik - Moderator Mar 1 @ 9:14 PM EST

Q2 Our district has a Fine Arts Fest each April. All depts and grade levels are included. It is a huge event! #elmused #MIOSM

annemileski Mar 1 @ 9:15 PM EST

@mspatricianhfb AWESOME! I’m doing a listening activity w/ 5th, but I didn’t think to extend it to the whole school. Next year! #elmused

mspatricianhfb Mar 1 @ 9:16 PM EST

@desmusik Cool! Does everyone perform together, or do people do separate performances? #elmused

mspatricianhfb Mar 1 @ 9:16 PM EST

@mrscapellan Sounds fun! I understand rehearsal craziness-we’re starting to do joint grade level rehearsals for our All School Show #elmused

mspatricianhfb Mar 1 @ 9:17 PM EST

@annemileski Staff members vote too! It’s super fun! You could still start it! Mine extends past March because of Spring Break #elmused

mspatricianhfb Mar 1 @ 9:17 PM EST

@justincholbrook That’s cool! Great to use sports to relate to things at school #elmused

Q2- one of most successful things I've done is a music spirit week that ended with a sing along assembly. https://t.co/DcuTnd21tH #elmused

svitullomusic Mar 1 @ 9:21 PM EST

@mspatricianhfb great! Could it work to just start out w/ a separate bracket for each class? #elmused

mspatricianhfb Mar 1 @ 9:21 PM EST

@tracyking I saw that blog post this week! Great idea-might try it next week! Or it would be cool to do that for the wk of our show #elmused

desmusik - Moderator Mar 1 @ 9:21 PM EST
