The kids were on incredibly good behaviour when I came in. I’ve noticed that aside from a small handful of disruptive kids (who the shelter staff are very skilled at helping with), all the kids are engaged and want to learn, so they do a good job at self regulating so things don’t get too rowdy. It feels like a milestone from when we started in the fall! One highlight of the class was while sharing our favourite songs and musical artists, one kid referenced a song called It’s Raining Tacos, which triggered a spontaneous song and dance number from half the class. I simply had to make that a greater part of the lesson, but we also still had time for amazing percussion explorations, which had the kids demonstrating just how clever they are at subdividing rhythms. I’m really excited to see where we go in this direction!
