Spring Recital Highlights

It has been about a month since our recital and I have LOVED watching and re-watching the expressions of concentration and happiness on these children's faces. I am proud of how respectfully our class stood on their blue dots. I love to see them anticipate the next character sound in the puppet show, jump right in with their Solfeg hand signs on "Are You Sleeping", and their enthusiasum to show their bug cards in the Bug Chant. Yay for our Jungle Rhythm! Enjoy the exerpts from our recital, but know I am a music teacher not a techie! Extra thanks to Marnie Christensen and Leslie Nelson, LPM teachers who collaborated with me on the recital. What a joy for me to work with them!
