Kindergarten Performance

On Thursday at 2pm, three Kindergarten classes held their Music Program together in the Cafeteria. We had been practicing the songs here at home and the kids were singing them for weeks, so I knew about what kind of songs they were going to sing, but what I didn't know was that they were going to dress up or that they were going to play with sticks and bells.

I was lucky and my kids were dressed as Santa and Mrs. Claus and standing not only in the front row, but also next to each other, which made it easy to film them!! Thank you for that placement! I only snapped a few shots with the phone and the quality is thereafter as it's not very clear when you zoom in with the iPhone and then blow the picture up. But, I didn't want to bring the Canon as well, as I was already bringing my old Canon, that is filming wonderful on it's pull out screen. The only thing that Canon doesn't do, is to take good pictures! Haha, filming is great, pictures not so much...So for family and friends to see, that never can take part in these school performances, there will be five entries soon with movies from the performance. Somehow, I can not save them in one post. So if you are not into sweet cute little voices singing Christmas songs, then don't bother about checking the next post out! If you do, I recommend to watch at least the first longer one, as there is one song in there that was new to me, and I absolutely love it!

Here are the pictures of my cute little Santa and Mrs. Claus:

Thanksgiving Performance

Yesterday, we started the Thanksgiving Week with a wonderful time in Kindergarten. Parents and siblings had been invited to their class for a Potluck with performance! The kids have been practicing all weekend at home, and they were so excited for this very first performance!

I was there earlier with the food that we brought for the potluck and Chris was still unsure about if he would be able to make it, so we didn't tell the kids that he would, not wanting to disappoint them, as he had meetings all morning. In case he wouldn't make it, I was concentrating more on filming them, then to take pictures during the performance, so I only snapped a few pictures with the phone here and there and after. I do have a few clips from their songs and poems that I already posted on Facebook. They were adorable, and I was so proud of them for having little speaking parts on their own. This was the first time they did this infront of a larger audience with parents. I will try to load the videos here later, it might take a while to load with our internet speed, but as I have family that don't have Facebook, I want to show them here too.

Bella was a turkey and in the last row..

 ...Ben was an indian and in the middle of the crowd.

The kids (and I) were so excited that daddy was able to see them! 

He made it just in time but as he was late, he was just standing in the back so the kids didn't see him until after the show!

Proud parents of little performers! 

Chris didn't have the chance to stay for the potluck, and left just after when we were lining up for the potluck. 

All families had been asked to contribute with something for the potluck and Chris made a large tray with Pigs-In-A-Blanket from Ben and I made two trays of Apple-Crumble-Pie from Isabella. There were lots of the standard Thanksgiving food, turkey/ham trays from the deli, mashed potatoes, corn and mixes vegetables, rolls, fruit and other deserts.

The kids were not having any other school lunch this day, so it was important for them to eat which they did, even if they were not a fan of the cold cuts..

Ben was made the "Student of the Week" and brought his poster last week, and it was still hanging up in the class room! There was a lot of crafting last weekend, I'll show some pictures of them later. 

A cute turkey that the kids have done in school. This one was Ben's!

After eating and letting the kids play for recess, I helped cleaning up and then it was time to leave while they continued with their day in school. 

 A beautiful sunny day in Okinawa, with a light breeze that made the flags outside school fly!
