Kids Classes!

Ok, the first two weeks of kids classes are over. Man I am tired. All of my classes are great but there are two that I have a lot of trouble with. The first is an AK level class or Mini Kids. This is a class with parents and their young young young offspring, usually about ages 1 to 4. They are so much fun but one of those classes is having a failure to launch situation.

Here is how the first class went...
Kadade a little angle of a one-year-old came strolling in with his mother. This kid is Gods gift to teachers. He was happy the entire time, he did all the games and giggled like a babydoll. I wanted to take him home. Then came the other two.

The first was Yuuta. He was about three years old. If anyone has ever heard my mother describe what I was like as a child, then just envision a male, Japanese version of that. This kid was running all over the classroom. He kept turning the tv on and off and playing with the toys. And whenever he would find something interesting he would hand it to me and say "teacher here". It was cute but I need him to learn with the rest of the class. Then there was Yuki. A little boy about four years old. He is timid. I approached him as I would a wounded animal. I walked up slowly, smiled and said in a whisper, "hello Yuki".He looked at me and immediately started crying and screaming. He did that for the entire class.

Can't wait until next week.
