Celebration of the Arts

Last night at Abby’s school they had a Celebration of the Arts after the annual PTO meeting. Each “art”, i.e. Spanish, Band, PE etc., got to do a small presentation. The Kindergarten class presented Spanish and I was amazed at the things they have learned this year. They sang a couple of songs (B-I-B-L-E, That’s the Book for Me, Jesus Love Me, London Bridge) all in Spanish. They also counted to 20, named all the colors, and named 10 or so animals. I can’t believe how smart they all are. There was also a silent auction for the class canvas and for a rocking chair that the whole K-5 class signed. There were many items but those were the only 2 that Abby contributed to. I did get a lot of ideas for crafts to do with the kids though, Christmas presents maybe. I didn’t win anything but I also didn’t bid on anything either. One of the other moms really wanted the canvas so we made a deal that she could win it if we got all the girls (there is a group of 4 girls that are really good friends) together one weekend so we could get them to do more canvas’ for each of the other moms. The whole night was a lot of fun.
