Spring is Here!

Mary Reese and some fellow Kindergarteners have been going to the Reading Coach at their school all year for some special reading time.  Last Tuesday night, her school had a literacy night to show how much fun reading can be.  Each grade level had their own part of the program.  The Kindergarten reading crew performed a skit about spring.

Here is most of the crew getting ready for the big show...

The costumes were precious...most of them hand-made by Mrs. Joseph [the Reading Coach].  She did such a fabulous job!

There were bunnies, bees, butterflies, frogs, chicks, red birds, cats, sheep, ducks & more...

They were the cutest things ever!

They took their places on stage and didn't miss a beat.  The cafeteria was packed but no one seemed nervous.  They all spoke their lines perfectly.

Hala's part was first...

...she was a chick.

Then came Amelia the Bee...

Finally it was Mary Reese's turn to shine...

Her big line..."Daffodils in the wind."

She said it perfectly!  [Guess all their practice & my bribe trip to Target for such a great performance paid off!]

The three amigas...

Here is a video of the complete Kindergarten part...




They were all so proud of themselves when they were finished!  They have even been asked to do an encore performance next month!

The prize for her award winning performance...

Some new shoes just like Amelia had gotten the week before.  She told Mary Reese they were on aisle 2 of Target.  So off we went...in search of sparkly, silver shoes on aisle 2 of our local Target.  Thankfully they were there and in her size!

I can't believe that her Kindergarten year is coming to an end.

Thanks for sharing!! They were the cutest things I've ever seen. I've never had a performance where everyone did exactly what they were suppose too. This is truly a special group. I love them all.

What cute costumes! I think MR got the choice pick...I love hers! :) And I'm not sure how we've missed those sparkly shoes on aisle 2, but we might just need to take a trip!
