Jack in Frog and Toad

Jack had his first grade music performance about Frog and Toad.  It was combined with the 2nd graders too.  It was really cute.  Jack did a great job!

 

Kate's School Christmas Program

Kate had her Christmas program at school last Friday.  They'd been practicing in music class since August.  There were tons of kids on stage since it involved all the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students.  

They did a ribbon dance.

They played bells, performed a song with paper plates, and sang "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" but she was on the edge of the stage and I couldn't take many pictures besides this one...

 Ty had the cell phone and kept holding it up like all the parents with their iphones videoing. 

Jack's Kindergarten Music Program

Today was Jack's kindergarten music program.Jack was pretty nervous about singing in front of a crowd.  He reminded me that he had to "stand like a soldier" during the program -- no scratching or wiggling.  He did a great job!  The kids sang three songs, then did two songs in a big circle with parents and their 3rd grade reading buddies.

 

Song #1.  The Rainbow Song...

Song #1 -- Rainbow Song

 

Song #2 -- Mr. Sir Echo

Song #3 -- Be the Best That I Can Be

Song #4 ta ta tee tee ta -- stick passing song

Song #5 was a monkey see monkey do song, but I don't have any pictures of it...

Kate in the Cat and the Hat Show

The first and second grade classes at Barranca Elementary put on a show called "The Cat in the Hat".  They had been practicing it for months.  Kate and I read the books Dr. Suess books together and she practiced for the show.  It was great!

 Kate's class is wearing yellow shirts.

 

 Kate's class acted out the story, Sneetches on Beaches, while all the kids sang.  Kate was a star bellied sneetch.

She auditioned to have a speaking part and got one!
