Music Class

Today the music teacher had to leave because of a family emergency.  I was asked to go to her class.  When I got there she was preparing to leave, so she instructed me on what to do.  It was a 5th grade boys class and they were playing musical chairs. She gave me music to pick from but it was hard to find the right music and keep the boys engaged.  So I just put on a CD and the game began.  I played the same CD over and over and over.  The boys were enjoying themselves so much, that as they played the game I found myself laughing and having a great time with them.  I had never had the opportunity to work with an all-boy class, nor do a music lesson.  I am still not sure how musical chairs ties in to the curriculum but I guess it does in some way.  The boys had a great time and so did I just watching them.. In the end I gave the final winner a prize and then it was time for the evening annoucnments.  Soon they began to pack up for the 2:20 dismissal.  It was an awesome experience.
