Day of Movement....

So a few weeks ago (I am actually blogging about February now, can you believe it???), the middle school had a day of movement. A bunch of teachers volunteered to lead different workshops, ranging from salsa dancing to yoga to giant twister to pilates to gymnastics to cheerleading to line dancing. Yes, I was recruited to help with the line dancing workshop. We had three 45 minute workshops throughout the day. My friend Kelly is from Georgia so she was in charge of it. I decided I would help her so I could spend the day listening to country music! Little did I know how much I would end up enjoying myself all day and getting into the line dance. :) It was so fun. The kids even started to get really into it. It was so cute. Here are a few photos and even a few videos that are probably worth watching if you have the time! They are cute.

Letting the kids take a shot at it!

Here I am trying to help teach!

Some of my crazy 7th graders were so focused and really getting into it. I was so surprised that they were so interested. It was really cute and they ended up doing a great job!

They even made up some of their own moves to the same dance. A strange mix between the line dance and the......chicken dance???

The girls were very focused and trying to get it right! So cute.

Check out these videos of the kids dancing.

After we had workshops all afternoon, we had a closing assembly for the kids which was awesome. They hired these ninjas to perform at the assembly. Oh my gosh, it was so awesome. I decided after that if I dated a ninja, I would feel soo sooo safe in Guatemala. I wouldn't have any doubts anymore. ha ha. They were just so cool. They also had this team of cheerleaders from some area high school that the boys were like all in love with. Seventh graders are pretty funny when it comes to that stuff. They were like, Miss Bass, I think she wants my phone number, can I go give it to her? I was like, NO, sit down!!! Anyway, it was a fun day that the kids really enjoyed.
