This is actually from last week. The boys school had a night for first graders called "Down on the Farm." It was a night for families to see the first graders Encore programs (PE, Music, Art and Technology).
In music, we got to play the alto xylophone (I think) along to a play about Farmer brown. We played whenever the teacher said "grow". Mac's music teacher does an after-school program with guitar classes. Mac can start when he's in 3rd grade and he can't wait!
We also danced in music.
Dose Doe! (I have no idea how to spell that!)
Give it a whirl Elly!
PE was also a big hit...this is an obstacle course through the food pyramid. There was also some rope-swinging. I was hoping for a dodgeball game, but not today.
In art, we made a bracelet with colored beads symbolizing the amounts of serving from each of the food groups you should eat in a day, as well as minutes of exercise. We drew a picture on the computers for technology. A lot different from the Oregon Trail computer games I remember when I was kid!
Oh yeah...
and Elly's super-excited...
to take up longboarding!
By the way...I think it was 3o degrees this day. Daddy, where are her shoes?!
As you can see, our snow is gone. We got a skiff today, but no big snow falls in our forecast right now. Just cold.
