My name is Lori and I teach elementary music, with a huge Kodály emphasis. My husband and I currently live in Texas and my favorites include
curling up with a good book, eating Mexican food, and playing with my sweet boxer, Penny.
In 2004 I started out as a band director at a small school in Texas. I took over another teacher’s elementary music duties
about halfway through the year and discovered that I love teaching little ones!
Currently, I teach Kinder-5th at a small
elementary school with about 530 students. I see my kids on a
4-day rotation, so I get to teach them 7-8 times per grading period, for
50-minute classes. My principal does a fantastic job protecting our limited
amount of time, so we have been flying through concepts this year.
Since it’s my first year at this school, the grade levels
aren’t where I want them to be, concept-wise, but we have spent a lot of time
building relationships, teaching routines and reviewing basic concepts to
analyze their needs.
Through this blog I will share the triumphs and struggles of
my classroom as well as the crazy ideas I tried. I hope to create a place where
I can mentor and be mentored, inspire and be inspired.
Let’s Connect!
