Selling the Drama

This week we attended Lily's first big event at school - the kindergarten play/recital. There was a lot of hype prior to this big event and Lily had been practicing for weeks, to include her line that she was given. She was a chicken, and as you will see from the video they sang lots of fun songs about the farm. Enjoy the video! Not sure if there is a good enough picture but Jack was so excited to see the recital that he actually sat up front on the floor with some of the older elementary school kids, it was hilarious watching him converse with 3rd graders, he can definitely hold his own.

We had a fun weekend with a few bike rides/walks to the creek, which included Lily's longest bike ride to date! They had a chance to feed the ducks, and Lily collected objects for part of her homework - she has to compare the selected objects (rock, feather, stick) to a picture of a stick. We also saw friends Sarah, Derek, Adam (5 months), Purnima, Selvan, and Sowmya (17 months) - Lily loves showing the babies the ropes.

At school, Lily has been learning quite a bit about famous black americans, slavery and segregation in light of Black History Month, and she has been working on writing sentences and number sequencing. Jack's school had a grocery store made up of empty food containers and he continues to love music - he came home today singing the new songs taught to him by Ms. Jan. He has also started to like attending Spanish and Yoga (he was afraid of the teachers) - he even showed us a yoga pose yesterday.

The kids start swim lessons on Saturday and soccer in a few weeks - we are ready for Spring weather!

Lily and Jack want to send special birthday hugs and kisses to Uncle Stan who celebrates his birthday on Friday!

Enjoy the pics and video!
