Madeleine's school program was last week and it was so cute. We've been to quite a number of school programs and this one was by far the best. I'm not sure if it's because we're at a new school & this is what they do, or if it's that she's in 4th grade now and they are just better at performing. Whatever it is, the program was cute.
Their theme was "Arkansas." Madeleine had a speaking part, singing solo and did some square dancing too. She'd been practicing for weeks and singing all her "Arkansas" songs. The kids got the biggest laugh out of the fact that I know most of the words to "Oh Arkansas," which was one of her songs. :) Haha! I guess you never forget some thing you learn as a kid. And, I made them watch the video of Christmastime in Arkansas since it wasn't on her list and, well, every AR kid should know it -- although it's not the same as listening to it on a cassette tape.
Anyways, the program was great and Madeleine shone like the star she is! Charlotte was captivated by the whole thing and kept trying to wave to Madeleine. Harrison was a little less excited, probably because he'd seen it earlier that day when they performed for the school.
We celebrated the success of our 4th grader with ice cream on the way home!
And, here's a short video of her speaking part. :)
