two months in the making. hundreds of hours spent teaching and preparing for a 2 hour program. a performance you may ask? something like that. more like tying 20 screaming kindergartners to strings and making them dance and sing to random english songs while their parents snap pictures and you put on an incredibly good fake smile in hopes that your panic doesn't seep through, cause you're sure someone's going to forget something or burst into tears. inevitably it all happens. kids cry, parents laugh and take pictures, i fumble the words and try to make stupid jokes on the fly to cover up being nervous in front of 40 odd adults some of whom can speak my language just as well as i can. and in the end what do you get....
a lovely fall hallway
filled with family pictures
children's writing
a tastefully decorated classroom. 1 part halloween, 2 parts parents night
your kids in matching outfits
trying to sit nicely
happy moms, dads, kids, and teachers
your guess is as good as mine. an enigma i'll probably never understand till i go to my own child's
