Choir was just getting underway with the upper graders when a student from another class came to the door. Her class would be having choir later in the morning. The classroom teacher naturally thought that the student was there to see her, not me. So did I.
The student was hesitant to enter the room for fear of disrupting the class but it was obvious that she had something very important to take care of. The classroom teacher asked her if she could help her. I stopped and waited to start my class so that the teacher could take care of the matter.
It turns out that the student had run all the way, in the season’s first rain no less, from her classroom in another building just to see me! She wanted to ask me if I had gotten the music for the song she had talked to me about last week. She wanted to see if we could sing it in class choir today. I told her that I was sorry that I hadn’t gotten it yet and she promptly handed me a sheet with the lyrics nicely printed on it. I had not asked her to do that. She just did it on her own.
This was a first for me! There have been many times I requested that if a student has a song that he/she wants to sing, that if they will bring me the lyrics I will be sure to check out the song and consider it for choir. No one ever follows through. Until now.
Thank you Kyra!! You made my week!!
