As many teachers typically do, or maybe I'm just assuming this because I do this, I am constantly asking the children what they would like to be when they grow up. I can get many different kinds of answers and for some of them, this is constantly changing. Today my class began making a music video for a song I made to help them to relax during our Terra Nova Testing. It is to the song Tik Tok. The children really enjoyed this and asked for another, so I began working on another song about plants to the song Telephone. At the end of the day the children asked me about it, so I sung what I have done so far.
A week ago Cornelius asked me if I thought the school would let him sing, "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" for the talent show. I said no, but then I got to thinking that maybe I could help him out by changing the lyrics. It starts off a little something like this:
"Jesus went down to Galilee, he was looking to preach his word,
Try not sin, for I am here, and the Kingdom of God is near."
I have quite a bit more to the song done, and to Cornelius' request I sung what I have written so far. He really enjoyed it and said, "Wow, Ms. J., you are really good at this!" But my favorite was Matthew, who said, "Ms. J. when you are done teaching, you should be a rockstar!" I guess it is never too late to pursue your dreams of being a rockstar.
