Ella's Spring Art and Music Show

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, the commitment that Caledonia Schools makes to the arts. Ella lives for her hour of art and hour of music each week. It is such an important part of her school week. She constantly amazes us with her creations. We had a wonderful evening checking out the children's artwork and then their performance. We were blown away by their performance as well!
Ella giving us a commentary of how she made a puppet from paper maiche.
Showing us the other pieces of art.

Containment and performances are not this guys thing.
TROUBLE-Look at this little man "rule the school". He is hilarious, he insists on wearing a tie when he dresses up. What a handsome dude.
In the auditorium this was the sign the kids made. All the stage props were made by the students as well! WOW!
Ella impressed us by asking to "audition" for one of the speaking "flower parts". The performance had a combination of singing and speaking to tell the garden story. It was precious. The kids even made their headbands and chose their flower colors.
Sooooo cute!



What fun memories. Christian kept yelling to Ella (because I wuv her, mom). Next Christmas Carter will be in kindergarten and he and Ella will share the stage! I am looking forward to things to come! It will be here before I know it!
