Rachel's Winter Concert
Rachel had her winter concert tonight. She seemed so much more relaxed than last year. There was one song that was a "shoobie doowah" type song and she had so much fun with that one.
She looked so pretty in her black dress.

Winter Concert
Rachel is in the 4th grade chorus at school and they had their Winter Concert right before Christmas. It is sad to me that they have to call it a Winter Concert, but they did sneak in a few real Christmas songs, although it was just in music...no words.
Rachel was so excited and nervous. Noona and Papa came over as did Wayne and Liz. She was thrilled.
She did a great job and the music was surprisingly good for a 3rd-5th grade concert...really very good. You can tell that the teachers really care about the music and the students. It was a very nice evening.

Mystery Reader
Friday, Brian and I each had the chance to be the mystery reader in one of the children's classrooms. It was a lot of fun. I read for Rachel's class and Brian read for Hannah's. I went along with Brian and took a few pictures.
The children enjoyed the stories and had a lot of great questions. It was funny to hear the difference between boys and girls when they asked Brian questions. The boys all wanted to know about the airplane and things like did it ever crash and have you ever jumped out an airplane. The girls asked questions about what he did, the animals he saw and the South Pole.
Hopefully we will be able to do it again.

School Orientation
After 12 years of homeschooling, some of our children will be heading off to public school. Rachel, Hannah and Dan will be starting school on Wednesday.
This was a big day for them as we had two sessions of orientation at our local public school. The children met with their teachers, saw their classrooms, took a ride on a school bus and had ice cream. The parents were given the opportunity to ask questions of the principal, the transportation supervisor and the cafeteria supervisor.
This is all so new to us, but I think we now have enough information to make next Wednesday run relatively smoothly. I'm sure we will work out way through all the ins and outs of having some of our children attending school.
The bus ride was a big hit and the children did great and of course having ice cream after was a treat.
Look at Dan, you can't see his smile, but those eyes tell you he is grinning.
The girls were a bit more shy and reserved but enjoyed themselves.
This was a bittersweet day for me...knowing this is the best choice for our PI children this next year, but feeling sad that we won't all be homeschooling this year.
