Winter Program

Tonight we attended the kids' annual winter program.  At the beginning of the year, each classroom selects a different country.  They then learn songs from that country which they perform at the winter program.  They also create costumes and set decorations to go along with the theme.  This was the first year that Jack participated.  His class selected Jamaica.  The kids got to tie dye their own shirts and then the teachers made them headbands with dreadlocks attached.  

"Ya Mon"

Jack didn't get a very good nap today.  And ended up having a complete meltdown leading up to his big performance.  So he has tears in his eyes and his fingers in his mouth.  But he eventually got in to it and clapped for himself at the end!  They sang "Chi Chi Bam Bam" which luckily, is a very short song!

Kate's class chose Austria this year.  So they sang songs from "The Sound of Music".  Kate has been looking forward to this for weeks and she absolutely LOVED being on stage!

Kate's good friend that lives on our street, Tatum, is in the half-day class.  They chose America for their country.

At the end, the older classes all came together and sang "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" and "It's a Small World".    

Jack started screaming during "It's a Small World".  I'll need to remember that when we go to DisneyWorld for the first time - may want to skip that ride!


It was a great show.  And don't worry grandparents, we captured it on video!
