Preschool Recital

Elsa had a great year at Raya Grace preschool.  It is a music based program that exposed the kids to many different musical experiences.  They sang, played instruments, and did other typical activities involving letters and art. 6 months later, Elsa still talks about Miss Rachel, her teacher, and you can tell it was a very positive experience for her.  She made a lot of friends and hopefully learned early how a classroom functions.  At the end, they had two recitals.  One was in April and one in May.  The one in April was just Elsa's class and May's included other classes of children. 
This is the April recital.  Elsa is not a shy child, but she was a bit more reserved than you usually see her during these performances.  It may not be the greatest display of what she's learned, but she's so cute all the same.  She loves playing "Hot Cross Buns" as her homework everyday and singing the songs she's learned over the year.







May Recital















I'm so grateful that Elsa had this opportunity to go to this school.  As we were leaving the May recital, we had to carry her sobbing to the car, which is quite the contrast to what you see in the videos.  She loved her school so much, she didn't want it to stop and she knew that that was the last day for school.  We started the year with tears and ended on the same note, but there was a whole lot of happiness in between.
