Q1: How many snow days do you usually get a year? Have you gotten any yet this year? #elmused

MsNystedtMusic Jan 26 @ 9:07 PM EST

A1: Maybe about one or two. We had five last year! Mostly "cold" days. We haven't had any this year! #knocksonwood #elmused

svitullomusic Jan 26 @ 9:07 PM EST

Sarah, k-5 gen music, from NC #elmused

RhonnaGriffin Jan 26 @ 9:07 PM EST

A1: 3, used 1 so far #elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator Jan 26 @ 9:07 PM EST

A1: Had one yesterday, delayed opening today. Normally good for two or so. #elmused

twkellyMRES Jan 26 @ 9:07 PM EST

A1: We had an "ice" day this past Friday. We usually get maybe 2 or 3. #elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator Jan 26 @ 9:08 PM EST

@MsNystedtMusic we had so many snow days two years ago we lost spring break. #elmused

MusTchrMichelle Jan 26 @ 9:09 PM EST

A1 We get 4 days. We just used 2 of them. #elmused

svitullomusic Jan 26 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1: We've had 2 already plus a delay. Don't have them officially built in, so we have make-up days. #elmused

MsNystedtMusic Jan 26 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1: We have 5 days "built in", but if we had more, we'd go past the "built in" date. If we don't use the days, we end earlier. #elmused

mspatricianhfb Jan 26 @ 9:12 PM EST

Q2 coming up! #elmused

mspatricianhfb Jan 26 @ 9:13 PM EST

Q2: What is your go-to snow day activity? Movie? Snow play? Planning? #elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator Jan 26 @ 9:14 PM EST

A2: sleep in, dig out, binge on some TV, plan some lessons #elmused

MsNystedtMusic Jan 26 @ 9:14 PM EST

A2: I usually take the day to plan. Hmmm...no snow days yet this year, maybe that's why I don't have my concert planned yet. #elmused

MusTchrMichelle Jan 26 @ 9:15 PM EST

A2 I have to shovel :( Afterwards I try to relax and do some planning. #elmused

svitullomusic Jan 26 @ 9:16 PM EST

A2: combo of listen to music, relax, read, cook, brainstorm/browse for ideas #elmused

mspatricianhfb Jan 26 @ 9:19 PM EST

#elmused Sorry everyone- my movie ran later than I thought! Thanks for joining us tonight!

mspatricianhfb Jan 26 @ 9:19 PM EST

Q3 coming up! #elmused

mspatricianhfb Jan 26 @ 9:20 PM EST

@Tuffnellmusic Hi SaraBeth! #elmused

mspatricianhfb Jan 26 @ 9:20 PM EST

@MsNystedtMusic Hi Elizabeth! #elmused

mspatricianhfb Jan 26 @ 9:20 PM EST

@twkellyMRES Hi Tamika! #elmused

mspatricianhfb Jan 26 @ 9:20 PM EST

@svitullomusic Hi Sarah! #elmused

mspatricianhfb Jan 26 @ 9:21 PM EST

Q3: Do you have any way to contact your Ss during snow days? Do you? #elmused

mspatricianhfb Jan 26 @ 9:21 PM EST

#elmused A1: it varies, but tomorrow will be our 5th in a row this year!

mspatricianhfb Jan 26 @ 9:21 PM EST

#elmused A2: Binge Netflixing, prepping for future concerts...more Netflix! ;)

MsNystedtMusic Jan 26 @ 9:22 PM EST

A3: I used to have Edmodo, but I didn't have a lot of kids on there, so I don't do it anymore. #elmused

twkellyMRES Jan 26 @ 9:22 PM EST

A3: I used @edmodo to stay in contact with my choir Ss. As for the rest, I just wait until we return! #elmused

mspatricianhfb Jan 26 @ 9:23 PM EST

#elmused A3: I contacted my 3rd-5th graders on @googleclassroom yesterday! #gafe Had to tell them our concert was postponed!

tracyking Jan 26 @ 9:24 PM EST

A2 My favorite snow day activity is almost always eating! LOL. Netflix and bad daytime tv shows are a close second. #elmused

MsNystedtMusic Jan 26 @ 9:24 PM EST

@mspatricianhfb Oh no! I hate when concerts get postponed! #elmused

mspatricianhfb Jan 26 @ 9:24 PM EST

@twkellyMRES Absolutely! I’ve been tweeting out ideas, but mostly for chorus, haha #elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator Jan 26 @ 9:24 PM EST

@mspatricianhfb how do they access classroom at home? I don't know how I can make sure my Ss access their google accts at home #elmused

mspatricianhfb Jan 26 @ 9:25 PM EST

@MsNystedtMusic Eh, it worked out bc we missed our last rehearsals due to the snow last week, so we have another week to prep #elmused

svitullomusic Jan 26 @ 9:25 PM EST

A3: no, but I have thought about using @Seesaw to encourage 4th gr Ss to upload #recorderkarate practice videos on snowdays #elmused

MusTchrMichelle Jan 26 @ 9:25 PM EST

A3 I could send emails or post something on my webpage, but there are no guarantees I'll reach everyone #elmused

MsNystedtMusic Jan 26 @ 9:25 PM EST

@mspatricianhfb One time our concert got postponed, we couldn't get ahold of all the Ss, some found out the DAY OF the new date... #elmused

mspatricianhfb Jan 26 @ 9:25 PM EST

@tracyking I usually eat junk, but I found the best hummus and have been eating that ALL weekend! #elmused

MsNystedtMusic Jan 26 @ 9:25 PM EST

@mspatricianhfb ...and they all still showed up! #elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator Jan 26 @ 9:25 PM EST

I'm thinking of setting up a Remind account for my music announcements...anyone use it before? #elmused

mspatricianhfb Jan 26 @ 9:26 PM EST

@JarvelaMused My 2nd-5th graders have 1:1 iPads, so those that have internet (most now) can access and get updates at home #elmused

MusTchrMichelle Jan 26 @ 9:26 PM EST

A3 I have https://t.co/kXVFcf2DxG for my chorus, so I could contact them that wy as well if it was necessary #elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator Jan 26 @ 9:26 PM EST

@mspatricianhfb the iPads travel home? We have 1:1 but in the classroom, they don't travel #elmused

mspatricianhfb Jan 26 @ 9:27 PM EST

Q4 coming up! #elmused

mspatricianhfb Jan 26 @ 9:27 PM EST

@svitullomusic Yes! That’s what I’m starting to do w/ 3rd on @googleclassroom we’ll see what happens when they take them home! #elmused

MusTchrMichelle Jan 26 @ 9:27 PM EST

@JarvelaMused It's great! The only thing is the parents are not used to it yet, so not everyone has signed up. #elmused

svitullomusic Jan 26 @ 9:27 PM EST

A3: no, but I have thought about encouraging my 4th gr Ss to upload practice videos on @Seesaw for #recorderkarate on snowdays! #elmused

mspatricianhfb Jan 26 @ 9:28 PM EST

Q4: If you can, or if you could, what would you assign to Ss during snow days? #elmused

mspatricianhfb Jan 26 @ 9:28 PM EST

@MsNystedtMusic It was a bit of a jumble-honestly there was no way other than Classroom to tell them-hopefully they figured it out #elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator Jan 26 @ 9:28 PM EST

A4: Practice Practice Practice #elmused

Tuffnellmusic Jan 26 @ 9:28 PM EST

A1 - we have two make up days. Some years we use them, some years we don't. We apply for a waiver if we go past 2. #elmused

svitullomusic Jan 26 @ 9:28 PM EST

@mspatricianhfb @googleclassroom great! That will be fun to see. Some of them really take off with it and run! #elmused

twkellyMRES Jan 26 @ 9:29 PM EST

A4: Play in the snow safely and practice your music! #elmused

mspatricianhfb Jan 26 @ 9:29 PM EST

@JarvelaMused Yes, they all travel home. I have opinions about it, but it does help w/ recorder & chorus prep #elmused

MsNystedtMusic Jan 26 @ 9:29 PM EST

A4: Probably just practice if we had a concert coming up. I don't usually assign homework, so why do it on a snow day? #elmused

mspatricianhfb Jan 26 @ 9:29 PM EST

@svitullomusic Yeah I am interested to see if it works better than my methods in the past- I’m flipping the #recorder classroom #elmused
