Water Aerobics Sucess

How do you know when you've reached success as a teacher? When your students want your lesson plan. Imagine if I was a history teacher and my student wanted to reread the lesson. That would be awesome. So maybe it's not as life changing with a water aerobics lesson plan but I'm grateful that all my hours of planning and practicing is going to someone.
