Christmas Concerts at School

This year our concert theme was Christmas at the Movies. We did themes from The Polar Express, The Grinch, Muppets Christmas, It’s a Wonderful Life, and John Williams famous songs from Home Alone. I made wreaths to go with our theme and the kids had a great concert. I would put videos up, but we had an unfortunate accident and a student threw up on stage. Jason was super excited that he was able to make it to the concert and get it on video. Never mind the good singing, he was impressed with his cinematography of the barfing. Oh well! The kids handled it very well and I was very proud of their concert. One of their pieces was 64 pages long and they also learned how to read 3 part music this semester. They are some pretty awesome kiddos.

I had to put this picture up on the blog. It is just amazing. The background is the cover of the Polar Express book. Our art teacher painted that in 5 days during her planning time. She is amazingly talented and a wonderfully giving person. We are very lucky to have an art teacher with so much talent!!!!
