Twist & Shout

 

Peacock participated in a school concert Thursday night.  The entire 4th grade played about 15-minutes worth of music on recorders, which was pretty cute.

When the 4th graders were finished, the kids in grades 4-6, that choose to go to school early and attend choir, had their spring choir concert.  The choir kids sang songs from different decades and they did a great job.  I knew Peacock had a solo part, but she never practiced it at home.  I expected her to get up and sing in her sweet choir voice, but when this came out of her mouth, I about fell out of my chair!  I asked her where she learned to sing like this and she told me she sings under her breath with the radio.  What a hoot!

Bravo! 

Busy Peacock

Peacock has been busy, too ... always drawing, coloring, and creating.  She also brings home a new book each night to read to me and then she has a quiz every day at school on the book she read the night before.  She's whizzing along in her reading.  She's a great little student.  Her teachers says she's very self-motivated, hard-working, caring, and is such a good, good, good girl.  News like that makes this momma very happy!

Works of Art

I am trying to de-clutter a bit & with all our great technology, it's easier to save schoolwork & art projects that my kids bring home.  Peacock is always busy creating.  Here is a sampling of her latest works of art.

I'm a first-time Kindergarten mom, so I'm loving all the little things that Peacock brings home from school.  Today I had a parent-teacher conference with Peacock's teacher.  Her teacher had such great things to say about her, but one of my favorite things was seeing a picture that Peacock drew and "labeled" (although neither her teacher or I could figure out what she had written under her picture ... but now that I'm thinking about it, maybe it said "Princess Tiana") at the beginning of the school year and a picture that she drew recently with SO much more detail and a complete sentence that had all the words spelled correctly except two, but they were spelled phonetically and much easier to figure-out.

In August, Peacock brought home these cats that she drew.  At that point, I didn't know she knew how to draw such cute cats.  I love her funny little cats and they still hang on my fridge.

This week she brought home a self-portrait ... I laughed when I saw the swing chains and the blue swing seat ... just like the ones at Bushka's house!
