Celeb Status

After having a good class with the 6th graders on Monday, I was extremely excited for my 4th graders today.  From the minute we walked in class they were thrilled that we were there.  They were excited to show off their warm-up  and across the floor skills.  Little did they know, the teacher, Mrs. Birdsinger, asked Melissa and I (Melissa also assists the 6th and 4th graders) to do the same combination across the floor.  When their classmates went across they would chatter and not pay attention, however when Melissa and I went across they were still and sat quietly.  It was like they were in awe of two actual dancers dancing across the stage.  When we finished the combination they clapped and cheered as if we were celebrities. One girl even embraced me in a hug.  They really do look up to us, and look forward to the days when we assist them.  One girl asked "why don't y'all come everyday?"  So far this experience has made me love working with kids even more, and it has made me more appreciative of my talents.
