Today's the BIG DAY!

Tonight is truly one of my favorite nights of the year... the KINDERGARTEN and EARLY PRIMARY programs! It's so fun to see the kids perform for the first time. I thought this was a great time to THANK YOU, the parents/grandparents/aunts/uncles/supporters, for such wonderful kids. They have worked so hard and put in so much time- for many of them, this is one of the biggest, hardest things they've ever done!

You will see tonight how much they've grown... and we can't wait to show you!

See you tonight!

Kindergarten: arrive at 6 PM, program at 6:30 PM
Early Primary: arrive at 7:15 PM, program at 7:45 PM

Kindergarten/1st Grade Sites!

The kindergarten and early primary students (who are waiting for their program on April 30th!) have been having fun exploring www.dsokids.com/games. This site is run by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. We really like the matching and coloring games.

Have a great week!

Coolest thing this week.

Hello! In the midst of the craziness that is program week (remember! kindergarten, early primary, and 4th grade grandparent's tea this week!) we have come across a way cool video in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade!  We are working on our note reading and sol-feg (think do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti-do from The Sound of Music). We incorporated this video into our new notes and pitches! We think it's awesome to see something so current with a cappella music! Hope you enjoy! :)
