I was so excited that I was going to be able to share this with everyone. Wes and his class performed a couple of their skits for the December Policy Council meeting. We did not perform a Christmas related skit due to religious affiliations of some students in the classroom. I had my dad's camera and was planning to video a part and take pictures to share. I have seen Wes and some of the others sing "Going on a Bear Hunt" and they are wonderful. THIS TIME, however, the kids did nothing. They definately had stage fright. So I will forgo the awful video segment and just put the pictures which make it look not so bad.
The first problem came in that the performance was 45 minutes away. Secondly. the meeting started at least 20 minutes late. To add to this, they did not perform first as we were originally told, but somewhere around third on the agenda. The teacher was great and got the kids colors and paper to keep them busy, but they were anxious. It was at this time though that I actually had the thought that I would enjoy teaching students this age. I never thought I would like kids this young, but having Wes this age, I have definately had those thoughts lately (not that I am planning on changing jobs right now.)
