Note To Self: No Wiggle And Giggle!

Juli Salzman

428 views

Oh, my! Tuesday was not a good day for me. I went back to school six days after my surgery, still on liquids. Everything was wonderful until after lunch. I had my earlier students sitting and singing through songs with very little movement. However, then came kindergarten. I knew the little ones wouldn't be able to sit still for the entire class, and since it was my first day with some of them, I wanted to make their day fun. I started with the song, "We All Work Together" by Woody Guthrie and had the kids "shake their booties" during the "with a wiggle and a giggle" parts. When they were reluctant, I decided to demonstrate. I got such a great response from them, that I kept going with them. They were so adorable, I couldn't resist encouraging them. Bad choice. My tummy hurt so bad that I had to sit with a heating pad across my belly the rest of the day. I went home after school and went straight to bed, hugging my heating pad. Yesterday, I learned from my mistake, did a slow-motion, simple demonstration, then let the kids dance by themselves. Much better. Today, I did more and felt awesome all day!

You sound like a wonderful teacher. Gotta love a teacher who would do anything for her students! Glad you are feeling better though!

Thank you. One of the parents asked me if I was ok today in the lunch room. I was suspiciously wondering who told her something. She went on to say that her daughter had come home a few days ago and told her that I was acting strangely hugging a t-shirt and sitting down. (I had tried to conceal my heating pad in a t-shirt). I thought I had done a good job hiding my discomfort but those little ones are sharp!
