Just one more week to go and the 2011-12 school year is over! Ella was accepted into the school orchestra (for kids who have never played before) and she chose the flute. I didn't suggest it at all, she picked it herself! This week was their end of year recital and here's one of the songs they played - "Let Me Teach You How To Dance" from the movie "Miss Potter". Ella is sitting in the back row at the right side of the stage to the left of the white raised part.
It was Felix's turn to be the VIP of the Week in his class. On Monday he shared the poster he made, on Tuesday, he talked about his favorite toy (his talking Spider-Man) and on Wednesday, after he came back from his class field trip, he was allowed to read a book to the class ("Beans on Toast").
This morning, he wanted to read to me on the way to school. He read it to Jim last night, the first time he's read all the way through a long book.
