Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 7hI, along with a few other specials teachers, are being asked to sub in a 1st grade classroom today. My question is, why are only some of us being asked to help? And why aren’t any of the homeroom teachers who have planning time today being asked to help? 010
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 19hA great first chorus rehearsal today! Probably the best one I've had since the before times. 010
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 19hWhew, so many Democrats are really showing their asses and proving they're no better than Republicans. Look, I don't agree with Susan Dell's politics, and I will gladly criticize her actions, but so many people are being assholes about her looks. Grow up, and find something better to criticize. 010
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 21hToday's Beatles song is All You Need is Love, released in 1967 on Magical Mystery Tour. It was written by John especially for Our World, the world’s first televised satellite link-up between 25 countries worldwide. #BeatlesSongADay2026 youtu.be/4EGczv7iiEk?...youtu.beAll You Need Is Love (Remastered 2015)YouTube video by The Beatles - Topic 010

Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I started singing a goodbye song with ALL my students this year, K-5. One of my 5th graders told me today that it's his favorite song. 🤣 130
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Today's Beatles song is Golden Slumbers, released in 1969 on Abbey Road. It was recorded as one with ‘Carry That Weight’, and based on a poem written by the Elizabethan poet and dramatist Thomas Dekker (1570-1632). #BeatlesSongADay2026 youtu.be/AcQjM7gV6mI?...youtu.beGolden Slumbers (Remastered 2009)YouTube video by The Beatles - Topic 010
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I went into the cafeteria after school today for something. I went to leave and a student was holding the doors closed, and she asked, “What’s the password?” So I said, “[Student’s name] is the most wonderful girl in the world!” She said, “That is correct!” And let me through 😂 010
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Why did the guy behind me, who had the same food as me, but twice as much, get his food before I did?! 010
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I just really hate when people have the perspective of me slacking because I work my ass off. I go above and beyond. That email I got about my chorus is really still irking me. 010
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Today's Beatles song is a solo Paul song, Jenny Wren, released in 2005 on Chaos and Creation in the Backyard. The name was partly based on the character in Our Mutual Friend, Charles Dickens’ final completed novel. #BeatlesSongADay2026 youtu.be/wubCa3JZdEk?...youtu.beJenny WrenYouTube video by Paul McCartney - Topic 130
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 07/10/2026OMG. I have NEVER had to bring chorus to SD before. I'm being scolded for not doing this. And for not telling the office and admin about it. I actually told admin about it at my benchmark conference three weeks ago, AND office staff translated and copied my permission slips. 110
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 06/10/2026We have a Hispanic Heritage Spirit Week starting Thursday, which I think is great considering 86% of my school is Hispanic. I don't know how to participate as a white person. I want to support my students but I don't want to appropriate their culture. 010
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I was supposed to receive a package today, and the tracking still says it’s going to arrive by 9 pm, but it also says it’s been at the Bedford Park distribution center for the past 5 hours. My packages don’t usually go through there. And it’s USPS, so I highly doubt it’s coming today. 110
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Today's Beatles song is Happiness is a Warm Gun, released in 1968 on The Beatles (White Album). It took its title from an American gun magazine, which Johnn saw in the studio at Abbey Road. He "thought it was a fantastic, insane thing to say." #BeatlesSongADay2026 youtu.be/vdvnOH060Qg?...youtu.beHappiness Is A Warm Gun (Remastered 2009)YouTube video by The Beatles - Topic 010
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Are you kidding me? I can’t get gas at the Speedway by school because it’s closed and they’re redoing it. So I went to the one by my house even though it’s slightly out of my way so I can use my coupon. And now that is one is closed for construction, too! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!! 020
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I’m sorry, we’re really having a shower for a 2nd baby? She just had a baby last year. I don’t do anything beyond a first baby. I am a single woman and we have a lot of young teachers here who have gotten married and/or had babies the past several years. I cannot keep buying all these gifts. 010

Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 04/10/2026So…with one song left before intermission, they put the show on hold for several minutes. It resumed and now we’re at intermission, but geez, what is going on with this show?! 120
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 04/10/2026This is an awful lot of work for a musical I don't even want to see that much. Called to exchange when I wasn't feeling well. Went all the way there last weekend just for it to be canceled, and had to exchange again, and now going all the way there again today. I should have just asked for a refund. 010
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Today's Beatles song is Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, released in 1968 on The Beatles (White Album). It was an attempt at a ska-influenced recording, although the title phrase came from a Nigerian friend. Paul paid him just for that. #BeatlesSongADay2026 youtu.be/_J9NpHKrKMw?...youtu.beOb-La-Di, Ob-La-Da (Remastered 2009)YouTube video by The Beatles - Topic 010
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 04/10/2026@klausbromi.bsky.social Do you do the mail-in ballot, and if so, have you gotten yours? Just wondering because my mom got hers today and I haven’t, and I got the notification about it 9 days ago already. And maybe Lisle is just taking a little longer. 100
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Ohhhhhh. I think I hear Woodridge’s rescheduled 4th of July fireworks. That’s not even a joke. 010

Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I don't know if I'm going to cheer for the White Sox. I cheered for them in 2005, but then most of their fans were jerks when the Cubs won the World Series. Plus, I have a good reason to cheer for the Guardians. 000
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Today's Beatles song is Junk, released in 1996 on Anthology 3. Paul recorded a demo of it at George’s house in Esher, Surrey, in 1968. It was never recorded in the studio for the White Album, due to Paul's prolific songwriting upon his return from India. #BeatlesSongADay2026 youtu.be/-hffhz6_HdA?...youtu.beJunk (Esher Demo)YouTube video by The Beatles - Topic 010
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Why wouldn't Lisa's next-door neighbor be rich, too? Her parents are country-club-rich. You would think her next-door neighbor, who goes to private school, would be that rich as well, and both his parents wouldn't have to work just to pay his tuition. 010

Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Today's Beatles song is Eight Days a Week, released in 1964 on Beatles for Sale. The initial idea for the phrase came from Paul, following a remark from his chauffeur. It was the first pop song to feature a faded-in introduction. #BeatlesSongADay2026 youtu.be/kle2xHhRHg4?...youtu.beThe Beatles - Eight Days A WeekYouTube video by TheBeatlesVEVO 010
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It drives me bonkers that parents don't cut off the permission slip part of the chorus note when they turn it in. They're not keeping all the important information. And then the homeroom teachers give them to me like that! I cut them off and am giving back the important information part! 010
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I am super happy I didn't have to go back out in the rain for choir rehearsal tonight. 010

Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Today's Beatles song is Things We Said Today, released in 1964 on A Hard Day's Night. It was written on board a yacht called Happy Days, during Paul’s holiday in the Virgin Islands with his girlfriend Jane Asher, plus Ringo and his future wife. #BeatlesSongADay2026 youtu.be/NItAlTsPuQg?...youtu.beThings We Said Today (Remastered 2009)YouTube video by The Beatles - Topic 020
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Today, my principal announced to the whole school that she noticed that I've posted the most on Class Dojo. I really have been trying to keep parents up to date with what we're doing in class, so I'm glad that it was recognized! That was nice. 040
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I am filled with rage at Essential Elements Music Class. Their search engine is atrocious. I'm looking for more visuals to do with a certain song that I know they have. I typed in the exact title and it's not showing it anywhere on the first page of results. How TF do I find it?! 010
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 01/10/2026One of my favorite things about teaching in a big district is when I get new students from other buildings in my district. And then I'm always like, "I KNOW Mr. Moliwell didn't teach you that!" Or, "I'm so glad Mrs. Narofsky is such a good music teacher!" And they're all, "You KNOW him/her?!" 120

Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Why was I ready so much earlier and got to school so much earlier today? 000
Elizabeth @nysmusic.bsky.social · 30/09/2026See, I knew the Cubs game wasn't going to go well last night. It fit the rest of my day yesterday. Hopefully, today can turn everything around. 000
