Today was my first day leading song group (and smart board). I was a little nervous, but I know that the children are not too concerned with my level of musical skill, so it was not a huge issue. I implemented two new songs, The Little Green Frog, and Mr. Golden Sun. I think everything went pretty good, especially for my first time, however I did forget to do the recap of the day at the end. I felt a little lonely singing the little green frog song, however I know that only Amy actually knew the words to the song. I am curious to see how the typical children respond to me as a leader, and my new songs. The typicals really seem to enjoy song time, so I think tomorrow will go well (knock on wood). After I see how both groups react to my leading song group, and with feedback from my mentors, I think I should be able to tweak certain things to hopefully improve the experience for all the children.
