I suppose it's not so much a question as it is a challenge for me right now...but how does one organize and engage an army of 1st through 3rd, even 4th, grade students with any kind of efficiency? 3rd was relatively focused today, and 5th Grade as usual was pretty dreamy (we did some challenging yoga poses they enjoyed and managed quite well!) but 4th was a logistical aggravation because of their constant need to tattle on one another, to push and shove, to be first, to have things their way or no way, to be the center of attention (while their 24+ classmates are also vying for the spot...). One can't even issue instructions! They were fantastic yesterday-- we did some relays and I guess always keeping it fresh for them and having them constantly moving with things that aren't incredibly complicated is the answer but today they fell apart with similar simplicity. It's an interesting group. I took them in early and we had a serious behavioral conversation..We'll see if things change.
7th Grade stuff was so much improved yesterday-- but we'll see if this last through tomorrow's lesson. I have some lovely CrossFit kids stuff planned for them :). And also tomorrow! My Roman march to the beach with Grade 6! Cannot wait to share this experience.
Yoga training also continues tomorrow...
*Whew*
