Bella's Mini Concert

It took all afternoon and evening to upload 6 minutes worth of video, but I managed to get it done, lol! Bella was really antsy and apparently had some trouble concentrating today. Perhaps if they STOPPED having four day school weeks, she'd be more tuned in?? (Yes, she's off again this Friday!) The entire month of January the kids have four day weeks. *grumble* Anywho...here are the photos/videos I took...

As a class project, the kids made up Dream Clouds (tied in with Martin Luther King's speech, I have a dream), of things they'd change in the world. There were five "quit smoking" clouds...interesting! Bella's was to stop cyber bullying. Not sure where she even heard of that term, because she doesn't even GO online, etc, but still it was a good thought!!


Not a fan of all the lines of this song, but like the idea of it.
Bella really loves to sing, perform and sign, doesn't she??


Really getting into this one, lol! This song always, always, always makes me tear up because of it's theme. And they seem to play it tons when Thomas is deployed. In fact the kids sang it for the soldiers who will be going to Afghanistan this summer. Because Thomas won't be going to that new unit here, he won't be going.

After the concert

I have more cards and photos to share....but I need to get showered up and get Bella going on her math sheets (FROM SEPTEMBER!!! Ugh!) and her biography project. We have a bunch of work to get done today as we'll be gone all day tomorrow for our trip to Florence!!

LOVE how Bella gets into the songs! What a performer! :)
Love, love, love the line in that song "To the hills of Tennessee!" From time to time Lee Greenwood will perform that song with UT's band, and the whole stadium goes wild during that line.

The kids did great. Bella seems so comfortable performing in front of people. That will help her as she gets older.

Have a great time in Florence this weekend!

So cute. I heard that one child cough a croupy cough and thought, it is no wonder our kids are always sick! They share so well. Bella is definitely animated - and that is a good thing! So sweet.
