Ah, the time-honoured tradition of the winter concert! It was very well done, with the kids sitting "criss-cross applesauce" in a circle, with several short, action-oriented, well-rehearsed songs in their repertoire. The families sat back in chairs and took photo and video.
After, the kids presented crafts they had worked on, beautifully teacher-wrapped, with hand-written cards attached.
It was such a nice way to start the day, to drop off one's four year old and then return for a presentation.
The kids were so proud of themselves, too!
These things take hard work, but then look easy!
I am reminded at all these steps along the way how nice it is to attend a neighborhood school. No need to show up two hours ahead to reserve a row of seats, no jostling with other families...just quiet appreciation for one's own and others' children.
