9/26 Kids

I teach about 300 kids now ranging from the ages of 3 to 14.  Each class has it's own personality but they all share an amazingly genuine enthusiasm.  I'm still shocked every day by how excited and truly engaged they are, how responsive and intelligent they are.  Sure there are bad days and students, but they all seem to love a good song ... I sing a lot ... something I really never saw myself doing;). My only regret is that I can't give them more one on one time as some of them really need it and get lost in a class of forty.  I am grateful for my smaller classes but they have been getting bigger and bigger as the weeks go by so even with them I have to rely on group dynamics rather that personal interaction.
