Christmas Potluck
I am feeling a bit nervous about the Christmas potluck sing-a-long performance on Wednesday. I do not normally enjoy standing up in front of people, the thought of everyone starring at me is very scary. I like that our class has decided to stand as one group, hopefully the peer support will help calm my nerves. I will be leading a song with three other people. Again, the peer suport will be crucial. I appreciate everyone who volunteered to help take part and organize the event. It was great to see everyone take a role, whether it be center stage or set up. I think it is important to recognize that we all have different strengths and comfort zones. I will try to ensure that I stress the same thing for the students in my classroom, in order for them to feel valued. I will post again after the performance on Wednesday to see if any of my thoughts change.

I agree with you. It's funny how we can get up in front of kids and sing all day but as soon as adults are thrown into the mix we get nervous and extremely uncomfortable. I am really glad we are doing this as a group, I wouldn't have been able to do it otherwise.
I agree with both of you! I can sing in front of kids, but put just one adult in the room and I'm self-conscious. Sing a solo? No way! But I'm sure that everything will be just fine, and our peers will not be overly judgemental.
