Hey, out of today's nine classes of kindergarteners and first graders only one kid threw up! I learned that perhaps less lively movements to the steady beat might be in order if the kids have had a late breakfast. And yesterday, I had the prerequisite first dropped violin of the year that knocked a fingerboard loose. My strings classes now all take place 3 flights of stairs away from my students' classroom, so by the end of the day, I have walked about 30 flights of stairs. I will either get in great shape or need knee replacements.
