Phil's Kindergarten Recital
This morning Phil's kindergarten class (here's Jeffrey, Phil & Dalton) put on their big recital. Due to unforseen -- and as far as we can tell, pointless -- roadwork between home and the school, Dina and I arrived just as the show was about to begin. Mrs. Swanson said Phil had been worried, but we didn't let him down (yay, good parents!).
The fun included songs like:
In between the songs and puppet shows (the other show was "The Little Red Hen") each student read a booklet-sized book. Phil read "Fun in the Sun," which included sentences ending with a question mark (upturned voice) and an exclamation point (dramatic shouting). (Here's another picture of the boy reading. And one of Phil listening attentively as Jeffrey reads.)
All of the kids did a great job. Phil was a stand-out, natch, but everyone had their moment to shine (not least of all because "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" was on the program...).
BTW two more days and Phil's a first grader.
The fun included songs like:
- "Do Your Ears Hang Low" -- a line of Continental Soldiers
- Little Bunny Foo Foo
- The Itsy Bitsy Spider
- It's a Small World -- "The Mountains" of "the mountains are wide"
- The A B C's in Sign Language
