The (5 min) video, above, introduces our fifth (and final!) point of gratitude for the week.
Today, we're giving thanks for the enormous network of colleagues and creators who sustain us in our work.
I say it every year... but we can't be the teachers we are without those who produce quality materials to work with. Let's be intentional about showing them gratitude.
May we never neglect to celebrate those who created the materials that help us look good. ๐ฅ

AND NOW: For TODAY'S Giveaway!
...there's a backstory here...
As I said in today's reflection, I try to be intentional about thanking the creators whose work I admire. This goes double for those who create so much FREE content.
When I find myself consuming a lot of someone's content for free, I try my best to find a way to purchase something from them.
Let it be known: notes of encouragement really do go a long way, but so does cash! ๐
For our final giveaway today, I wanted to (1) gift you something EXTRA GREAT, and (2) put some money in the pocket of a creator I felt good about supporting.
If you're familiar with Janna's YouTube Channel, you know she has a knack for demystifying historical performance practices.
I *know* this is content teachers need (and want!). To say THANK YOU for spending this week with me, I'm purchasing access to the course for one lucky respondent today.
To enter: Simply reply to today's message and tell me about a composer/publisher/creator YOU love to support. Submit your reply by 10:00pm (eastern time) to be considered for the giveaway.
*I will notify the winner by Monday, 11.25
WRAPPING UP:
This year's Studio Teacher Thanksgiving has been my favorite yet.
I'll confess: as I was preparing for this year's event, I kept asking myself if anyone would care about these thoughts. Your enthusiastic participation has brightened my (wild!) week in ways you'll never know. Thanks for sharing your hearts with me this week, my friends!

I've been off the sticker train for years. Stamps are more affordable, easier to store, and don't require students to choose their favorite. (If you know, you know). ๐ Find these (and more!) on my favorites list. โ
