I know, that title makes me cringe too. But this week, my body betrayed me. I have been teaching elementary music for 15 years, and I have always been right in there with the kids, singing, dancing, jumping, hopping, skipping, whatever! Lately my classes have been really wiggly, so I've been starting class with 5 to 10 minutes of movement (especially on rainy days). Sometimes it's structured, "follow the leader" type stuff, and sometimes we just cut loose and DANCE! My newest dance song is the Kidz Bop version of "Party Rock Anthem". It's really fun! It's great watching 7-year-olds shuffle!
So there we were, dancing our hearts out in first grade. We finished the song and sat down to begin the lesson. Moments later, I stood up and...............ouch! My ankle hurt with every step. "No biggie," I thought. "I've had minor twists a million times. I'll just walk it off." Yeah, right. For the first time in my life, I sprained my ankle! No joke! I'm offically too old for hip-hop. Dang.

I feel your pain...my legs were sore for 2 days last week, and I don't even remember why...I can't decide if it's my age or my kids! On another note...I love all your music units and lessons...I wish I could be in your music class. :)
Love it! I can so relate to this!!!!
