iSing... ?

Friday was a good day. Pre-school was a joyful way to start an early morning. I am not going to lie, I was not expecting to stand up in front of the room and sing the Chicken Dance, the Itsy Bitsy Spider, and Head and Shoulders, Knees, and Toes to the whole class. One thing that I do know for a fact is that God did not bless me with talent in the vocal signing department. This is like my worst nightmare. Actually having to sound good up there? Who cares about the 20 four year olds in the room, I was freaking out about the 10 of my peers. Thankfully the tunes of those songs are not very difficult and I think it went just fine. In the car on the way home, Stu told me that I did not sound too bad. And usually Stu is brutally honest, so I am glad I got the reaction I did.
Mr. Goodwin is a great teacher, and I like the attitude he has with his occupation. He is laid back, however strict enough that he gets his kids moving and they do not stop. It was amazing the difference of my nerves from the last time that I did a mimic teach. I still remember week one of the quarter driving from Pleasantville to Bremen, about ready to throw up because I was so nervous. Today, there was nothing. I sat and took notes on what Mr. Goodwin said and did not even think twice about have to repeat this lesson in three hours. I am not trying to sound cocky, but that is how I felt.
Teaching the scooter lesson was fun. I had never seen the helicopter spins before, but those are so cool. I taught the scooter part of the lesson and then Stu taught the ball skills part. I would have to say I defiantly had the fun part of the lesson. Thankfully all the students were very well behaved and there were no crazy scooters flying all over the gym. I did not even have to sit a single student out. These are my kind of days. I love it when everyone is cooperating and getting along, and able to keep themselves entertained and moving without distracting their neighbors.
I am excited about my last teach that is coming up. I think that the students at Morrison seem to be great kids and will be fun to work with. I am really sad that elementary methods are coming to an end. I am finally getting used to interacting with the younger students, just in time to be done with the class. However, I suppose that means that this course did its job.
