Linda loves teaching her 3 and 4 year old TKD class. She likes the 5-12 year group too, but the little kickers are her favorites. Here is an overview of the class today.
Sienna: Miss Linda, I can't do TKD cause I'm going to Disney! Miss Linda: Really, that's great Sienna. When are you going? Sienna: Right after we do some front kicks and I eat a muffin for snack.
Gabe: Miss Linda, can we pretend to be be giraffes for our warm-up today? Miss Linda: OK, just for today. (Everyone, including Linda, is walking on their tiptoes with their arms over their head making long necks.) All the other kids: MY TURN, MY TURN! They ended up doing 10 minutes of hippos, snakes, cheetahs, wasps, tigers and 3 more Linda is too embarrassed to remember. The room they do class is at the YMCA that has a glass wall facing the cardio-equipement. She had a big group of adults stop what they were doing to watch.
Kathrine: I can't listen to you today because I didn't eat my salad. I can only obey if I have lettuce for dinner. My Spiderman ring is real. Gorilla's eat bananas. (Said all in the same breath.)
Maddy: My socks are on the wrong feet! ( Crying the whole time Linda tried to get 10 pairs of shoes and socks back on to take them back to their pre-school class before her next class starts.)
Miss Linda: Kathrine, STOP sucking your toes. We don't put our feet in our mouth.
Elvis: My Mommy loves owls. A lot. A really lot.
Eddie (3 yr.) : I love you Miss Linda. I missed you so much! (Running across the room and launching himself into her arms as soon as he walked in.)
