🎶 How many times have you sung a Christmas song this month in your classroom? 🎄 Enough to make Mariah Carey jealous and Santa consider royalties! 😂 Music teachers, we see you. December feels like a whirlwind of Jingle Bells, endless rehearsals, and that one student who always belts out the wrong verse. You’ve been counting down to the big performance or holiday recital, but let’s take a moment to count something even better: 👏 The students you’ve inspired this year. 👏 The memories you’ve created through music. 👏 The times you’ve shown up, even when running on pure caffeine and willpower. You’ve powered through another huge year—and a December jam-packed with holiday chaos! Take a bow and remember: YOU are why so many kids love music. ❤️ 🧐 Curious about how all that singing has been more than just fun? It’s been transformational for your students and your school community.
