It's a funny thing, watching your spouse at work. I've often wanted to sit, like a fly on the wall, in her classroom. I want to listen to her teach, seeing the things Corinne is passionate about and the things she has dedicated so much effort towards.
Well, this week I got a small glimpse to the very impressive adaptability of Mrs Coates. The kids show that she has put together at Old Rochester Regional Junior High was terrific and Mrs Coates was a dynamo, working the lights, the sound, the mics and the music, not to mention coordinating all the wee'uns to the right place at the right time. Her efforts were well recognised even by the kiddiwinkies who all wanted to hug her and tell her how much they enjoyed it.
To be quite frank, what I saw was nothing short of miraculous. Coordinating kids is hard enough, inspiring them to turn up each day, learn their lines, contribute to many different aspects of a show and then pull off a pretty dandy performance is heroic.
I wish I had some photos to post up here.....next time.
