Rock Stars

     Last night the Kindergarten classes performed for their families ON STAGE!! It was so exciting for them to be in front of all those people in the auditorium, up on the risers and being 'rock stars' for a night. Our program was titled Everybody Has Music Inside and of course that is my feeling exactly! The first number had the kids wearing sunglasses and rocking out with actions (including a little air guitar at the end). Five and six year olds "gettin' down" with the music....too funny! Each child also had a special part, either reciting a sentence or doing a special movement for the Dancing Machine number. They did an amazing job!

      One of my former students (actually several of them) was there with her son. She made a special point of saying Hello and telling me I was her favorite teacher. It was a wonderful reminder that we don't just effect our students while they are in our classrooms, but sometimes our influence lasts beyond that 180 days that we share their lives. This former student makes me especially proud becuase she chose to become an elementary teacher. What bigger compliment could a teacher recieve? I guess that's why I've done this for so many years. :-)
