The two big kids performed in their school's annual Fall Sing last week.
Each grade had learned a couple songs to perform, and the whole school sang a few songs together. Joy and Daniel have been singing their songs around the house for weeks, and it was fun to hear them perform the pieces they've worked hard to learn.
The kindergartners were in front and to the left. If you have a magnifying glass handy, you may be able to spot Daniel about five kids from the left, wearing an orange shirt (like ten other kids in the picture). I spent the whole concert trying to spot Joy and never found her until after the concert ended, so alas, I don't have a picture of her section of the crowd.
Today I taught preschool again, with a Thanksgiving theme. I told the story of the first Thanksgiving, showed the kids a Norman Rockwell painting of a Thanksgiving dinner, and . . . read a story about some pirates who were grateful that their sworn enemies saved them from a sea monster. 'Cuz, shiver me timbers, it's all about gratitude, right?
We also made handprint turkeys and the kids listed things they were grateful for (popular subjects included family members, toys, and favorite shirts).
The kids even held an impromptu Thanksgiving parade. :)
