Fine Arts Night at school

Thursday night was Fine Arts night at the kid's school. This was their time to show off what they have been doing in Art and Music. They have had a Literacy night and Math and Science night, but this one was my favorite. It was a good distraction, as that afternoon, our foster daughter M left to live with her grandma. We'd known she wouldn't be here long, but it was a surprise, b/c we thought it would be around a month longer before she left, so we were all really sad to see her go. I will talk about that more later on my other blog. Luckily, our parents had planned on coming up for the program, and they were the perfect distraction for everyone.

Rachel couldn't find which one was hers b/c her name was on the back, so I just had her pose with the artwork from her class.

Each class also had a group art project...there was some really cool stuff, and they had it for the parents to bid on to raise money for the school. What a neat idea! This was Leah's class. They had to do words of things they loved....Leah chose Spongebob...oh good grief girl!

This was Rachel's class...their fingerprints are razorbacks!

This is from Noah's class...and I want to get me one of these boards to hang by the door

I thought his scuba man was a cute touch

Then the kids all performed songs outside from Disney Movies. Rachel's class sang "Just can't wait to be King", Noah's class sang "Supercalafragalisticespealadocious" (o.k..I did not check to see if I spelled that right...I just guessed at it!) and "Let's Go Fly a Kite". They all made kites....his had Star Wars characters drawn on it.

Leah's class sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "Follow the Yellow Brick Road". Their class skipped away at the end of the song

And here we are! It was so great to have our family with us!
