Spring Ballet Recital

Emma's dance class meets once a week for 45 minutes at the local community center.  Their instructor, Miss Jen, organizes a little recital at the end of the session.  Last winter they performed a mini version of The Nutcracker.  This spring, they were butterflies.  Emma enjoys ballet and wants to continue next fall.  We enjoy watching her practice and perform!

Mother's Day Program

Emma's kindergarten class prepared a Mother's Day Program and presented it for all of the parents and grandparents one afternoon.  It included songs, sign language, poetry, and art.  Each child made a picture of his/her mom and said, "I love my mom, because . . . "  Most mentioned snacks, rewards, or toys.  Emma was the last to speak and proudly announced, "I love my mom, because she reads me books."  My heart just melted!  The kids also shared cookies and punch with their guests afterward.
