    In honor of National Voter Registration Day tomorrow, the Broadway company of Hamilton headed into the booth to record "The Election of 2024." I heard the recording on Twitter/X, but I haven't found it elsewhere yet. It's really catchy, and I'm guessing students would enjoy watching it as part of discussions around voter registration, the upcoming presidential election, and civics. Plus music, of course!

    The piece reminded me of the exciting Hamilton-based TPS project called Civics! An American Musical, a collaboration of grant partners FableVision, the Library of Congress, Maryland Public Television, Maryland Humanities, and Tufts' CIRCLE. I invite members of the TPS Teachers Network to try this engaging learning game with students soon. After all, there are only 50 days left before the presidential election of 2024!

    So fun  Mary Johnson  ! I found it on YouTube so I have embedded it below and added it to this group's videos. 

     Mary Johnson and   Julie Schaul , this is GREAT!  I can't wait to share this with our educators who will be starting our Leadership Institute tonight!  At the NCSS2018 Conference in Chicago, there was a team of NYC teachers who presented a workshop session for 2 hours using music and lyrics from Hamilton the Musical.  The session was packed and the stories teachers told about how 2018 students responded to learning American history through music and dance was uplifting.  This current recording is like a beacon of hope during this year's election cycle!  Thank you!
