I’m teaching a drama class tonight for the Town of Whitby. Even though I spend my day with 7 and 8 year olds, its very different to spend time in the evening with them.
First, they aren’t MINE. I know you think your kids are your own, but if they are in my class, I think of them as MINE as well. I get to know them really well, highs and lows. I can tell when they are happy, sick, lying, bored etc. These kids in the drama class I only have them for an hour and 15 min once a week, so we don’t really bond the same way.
Also I find it weird when they call me Amanda. Not that I mind, it is a less formal situation than at school. It’s just weird after so many classes at 3 different schools.
Oh well, off I go, we will bark like dogs and build “clay” sculptures with our partners. FUN!!!
