Singing!

I dreaded the thought of singing today but it was actually a lot of fun! I have been anti singing for years. That may seem strange considering I am planning on teaching early primary, which involves huge amounts of singing. But there is a reason behind this, my mother has been a kindergarten/grade 1 teacher for as long as I can remember. Therefore I have been exposed to lethal doses of it forever. Imagine always knowing where your mother is in the supermarket because you can hear her humming or singing!!! Apparently this has been one of my pet peeve since I was a toddler, I am always told stories about how I would be in the backseat in my car seat yelling “DOESN’T THIS CAR HAVE A RADIO!!!” I have to be cautious writing this next part because there is a slight possibility I might actually show her this blog one day. Now that I am following in her footsteps, I am beginning to appreciate all of the songs I have learned throughout the years and the fact that perhaps she even contributed to my intellectual development. And hey, I can say that I know almost every possible song that I will ever need for my future classrooms.

I love your comments about your mom and learning from her. My mom was also a teacher and she taught the early years. Through the years I said I never wanted to be like her, now I am so glad I am like her. She was a great teacher and the children learned so much from her.
You have teaching in your blood and that will help you a lot when you wonder why you got into this profession.
Good luck
