I really enjoyed myself at the pot luck today. I forgot how much fun it is to sing songs with a group of friends. I think our class owes a great big thank you to Liesbet. She will say that we ran with the ideas about our sing along but she took the initiative to begin the planning process for this entertainment and kept everything moving along. I think we should also thank the drummers, dancers, recorder players, masters of ceremonies and would be producer/director types for their unique contributions to this and the people behind the scenes like Shayla, Sara and Kirsten (sorry, after a year and a half you would think I would know how to spell her name) for their contributions of hardware, knowledge and time.
I can well remember singing Christmas Carols in my class, during school assemblies and of course at the mandatory Christmas concert in elementary school. I know this is verboten now, but impromptu group singing does have the tendency to raise your spirits. Even the most self conscious singer can feel anonymous in the group. We should, and I will, urge students to sing something to see if they feel the same way about it.

It was a lot of fun, and we all pulled together as a group, even when we made a mistake! I had a blast, and I think that we should incoperate more singing into our classes next term...humm maybe a song a week! Something we could use in our classes, it is a good way to break the ice, and release some tension.
I agree, the Christmas Potluck was great. I also agree with Sara C and think that we need more music and singing in our class. It might help with the stress we all feel on occasion!
