Second-Grade Spring Concert (aka Charlotte Rocked It!)

 Tonight was Charlotte’s second grade concert. We enjoyed watching the children perform. Shelly and Artie came down for the concert and we got to visit for a few minutes before and after the performance.

I was able to get a photo of Charlotte as she came off the stage after the concert. The second photo is of the concert program cover. The second-grader artwork relates to the songs they sang. The top left and the bottom right pieces represent the song Roy G. Biv, the top right piece is for The Bunny Trail and the bottom left piece is for Sakura, Sakura (Cherry Blossoms).




Each second-grade class sang a class song they wrote themselves in February under the guidance of James Hersch, a singer and songwriter. The themes of the songs were practicing kindness, The three R’s (Respect, Responsibility, and Resourcefulness), and the celebration of the school’s 20th anniversary as an Arts Magnet School.

In addition to the songs they created themselves, the children performed six songs including my very favorite I Love A Baseball Game. Clean My Room (sung to the tune of Jump, music by Eddie Van Halen) was my second favorite. Oh, wait, A Trillion Trees was equally amazing.

After the concert we came home to have root beer floats and macadamia cookies.

Happy Thursday from Minnesota!

P.S. Yesterday we had the Subaru in for an oil change and to trade out the snow tires for the regular all wheel tires. Want to take bets on if we just ended Minnesota’s spring weather?
