There don't seem to be enough contributors to keep a weekly thread going, but I'll start one now because I do have something to report. Hope someone else does too!
Hot & Sweaty:
The last Mommy & Me class until the fall met on Wednesday morning. I don't have any classes for the summer, but it's just as well, since I am going away for a few weeks in July and August. Maybe I'll be called on to sub.
Air Conditioned:
That last class was soooo much fun. Only three little ones showed up, and I decided to let them show off whatever they wanted after we all did some swizzles, slaloms, and pushing off backwards. One of them has some talent and is already much better than the others, even though she has only been in the class about 8 weeks, as opposed to all season. Her dad took my card and said they are going to try to schedule some private lessons with me this summer...hooray!
When I went into the office to thank the skating director for giving me the opportunity to co-teach that class and to tell her how much I enjoyed it, she suddenly said, in a panicky voice "You are going to be here next year, aren't you?" I assured her I would be, and left feeling very complimented.
When the outdoor rink opens in November, I am going to teach the adult beginners classes and have plans to offer lessons to the public school groups that regularly take outings to the rink during the week.
I have to say that I believe I have connected with something that I truly love to do, and feel I am so incredibly lucky to be able to do it, even in such limited form.
