For a teacher the words "Extra-Curricular" can elicit many responses running the gamut from joy to horror. The response depends on the teacher, school, students, season, etc. For me music has been my 'thing' forever. Mostly this was great as I love music and enjoy making it. Sometimes though, a change is good.
This year music was just not happening. There was absolutely no student interest in a choir. So, for the first time I am making the foray into supervising an E-C that is athletic (I know- a bit of a stretch for me.) Since yoga would be my first choice, but I am not sure it would have much more response than choir, I have joined D. in leading a group of students in cross country skiing every Tuesday after school.
I am really enjoying myself. I will repeat that for my family who may have fallen out of their chairs, I am really enjoying myself. In fact, I am officially putting boots and skis of my own on my wish list. It also seems that I have been volunteered to 'coach' the ski team for the Winter Games that happen in March. Who'd a thunk it?
Life is full of surprises.
