On a night when I’d rather be posting about my son’s very successful clarinet recital, I instead have to post to about yet another school shooting. How many dead, innocent children and teachers do we have to see before we take action? For everyone who has done nothing, there’s blood on your hands.

As predicted, it’s a snow day in Western MA. I didn’t realize until I had become a parent all the rituals there were to making one happen, such as wearing your pajamas inside out, flushing an ice cube down the toilet, placing a spoon under your pillow, etc. Did you have a ritual for snow days?

If you need this well-spoken girl to explain this to you, then, you, Megyn, and anyone else who agrees with you are the collective problem here. There’s no debating it, unless you’re a pedo and supporting the old orange man’s concealment of the Epstein files.

Hey Megyn Kelly,
14-year-old Eloise would like a word:
“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”
Sound up! 🔥🔊

Tonight, I upgraded my keyboard to a professional one. When the manager of the music store found out I was an educator and accompanying students on piano, he reduced my price by 50%. I couldn’t believe it and was incredibly thankful. This keyboard sounds out of this world! As a teacher, I felt seen.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio
There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.
Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

While we’re at it, given that I got in from trick or treat at almost midnight, can we observe every Halloween on a Friday or Saturday night? It’s far less taxing when I’m not rushing my kids back home to get homework done and to get ready for bed for school the next morning. Let’s just be practical!

In Upstate New York tonight, we battled high winds that knocked out the power on several occasions, leaving the streets pitch dark. It was the spookiest Halloween I have ever had. Leaves blowing everywhere from the deafening wind and the street lights going on and off. The kids got a lot of candy!

I post this message every year on my social media accounts. Please, please, please. If you’re driving tonight, take it slowly, don’t drink, and WATCH OUT FOR KIDS! I am driving but will arrive before trick or treating and leave well after. Happy Halloween, everyone; be safe and have fun! 👻 🎃
Yes, Halloween is the deadliest day of the year for child pedestrians—great advice from @mcbazacophd.bsky.social

Halloween costumes are final for trick or treating with friends in Upstate NY tonight. My youngest son is a vampire and eldest is ghost face. These selections reflect their personalities quite well, too. Can you guess which one son is more laid back?!

The keyboard has always been my canvas for my music theory work. I’ve always had either a keyboard or piano in the house. I played fluently in high school and then fiddled with it here and there. Now, I’m preparing to accompany my son at a clarinet recital he has in December. Lots of emotions here!

Emily wrote an invaluable book to support music education; furthermore, this book reflects shifts in music curricula and showcases pedagogy that is rooted in evidence-based practices that maximize student engagement. When I connect music theory to modern, popular music, the class is all in!
Last year, I wrote a book about teaching musical concepts through popular music in the K–20 classrooms. If that is your kind of thing, you can purchase it as a downloadable here through the fabulous publisher F-Flat Books.

Today, I got my first handmade gift from one of the sweetest girls in the third-grade class that I teach. She walked up to me during group activities and said, “Mr. Z.! I made this chain just for you!” Things like this fill my heart with endless happiness. The 5:00 mornings are well worth it! ❤️

Today, I started my new career; I co-teach third grade with an incredible teacher. I came into this profession after having been an entrepreneur for 25 years. The energy in the entire school was incredible. I’m being treated like family and am loving my 17 students to pieces. I answered my calling.

I kayaked this morning with three school teachers, and I told them all that I am entering the classroom as a teacher on Monday— midlife career change. One told me it would be an eye-opener, the other said she loves it, and the third teacher said she quit after four years and never looked back. 🤷♂️
