Grandparent's Day at School

Grandparent's Day was celebrated at Morningside Academy yesterday morning. The kids sang songs, recited poems and skits about grandparents and ate donuts together in their classrooms. I couldn't get close enough to get a good video of Mia singing the song the Kindergarten classes sang at chapel, so I had her sing it for me this morning before we went to school.



Let's go see our Grandparents,
Take us there for awhile.
Mommy and Daddy both need a break,
We'll play games and we'll stay up real late!

Oh We'd like to thank our Grandparents
for all the things that they do.
So it's time to say........
"You're the BEST, and
that We... LOVE... YOU!


The song and poem they did in her classroom: I had a Little Turtle and Who Can See the Wind? by Christina Rossetti

Who can see the wind?
Neither I nor you:
But when the leaves hang trembling,
The wind is passing through.

Who can see the wind?
Neither you nor I:
But when the trees bow down their heads,
The wind is passing by.

-- Who Can See the Wind? by Christina Rossetti



Adelaide is doing well in school and has adjusted to going to school in the morning better than I expected. She can't wait to be a big kid like sissy and wear a uniform and play the violin, but for now she is spending time with mom and Dax and taking a quick nap in the van while we wait to pick up sissy. This is Ad's usual position for the 1st 15 minutes after getting home from school!

Mia gets her violin!

She started violin last week with just the basics. How to hold it in 1st, 2nd and 3rd position and she started learning the parts of the voilin too. Dr. Jon tells them that the violins are very fragile and they should be treated like a baby. It is so fun to watch her be so gentle and careful with it. She really took Dr. Jon's words to heart!
