Winter Concert

Leah participated in her elementary school's annual Winter Concert today. Each grade sings 2-4 songs in addition to a performance by the band and orchestra. I was extremely impressed by the caliber of the performances - especially from the music teacher who accompanied every single song! 

The kindergarteners sang Up on the Housetop complete with Santa hats and beards and they also sang a song about puppies that was really darling. Each student had to bring in a stuffed toy puppy. I'm not huge on stuffed animals, so Leah doesn't have many, but I remembered that a puppy was one of the three stuffed things I owned as a little girl, so I searched through my childhood boxes and found the puppy that I used to keep on my bed!

Leah did a great job. Though she can't sing, she does communicate with her eyes and she did so great looking at her pictures each time her class had a part. I was actually really impressed with her accuracy! 

Nice work Miss Leah!!
