Winter Concert

Christopher and the rest of the fourth graders at PHS had their winter singing concert last week. It was called "Coming to America" and had the theme of immigration (which they are also studying as a grade level). Their songs included the Neil Diamond song, "Coming to America" (minus the sparkly blue blazer) and several songs in different languages including Swahili, Hebrew and Spanish. It was a great show! The children could either dress in clothing native to the country their family came from or like immigrants supposedly dressed in the early part of the 20th century, hence the newsboy cap on Christopher's head. He loves this hat so much and even wears it around the house. Here he is wearing it while doing a little writing...

Jonathan likes the hat too, and I have to say that my boys look extra Irish while wearing said hat!

You can see in the background that Athena does not feel the same way about her hat. They had some fourth grade artwork displayed at the concert as well. Here is a sculpture made by Chris as well as a very cool two-in-one picture with his self-portrait and a picture from "Day of the Dead."

And amazingly, Christopher still loves to build. Jonathan and I came home from something and Chris had constructed this tower on the dance floor. Obviously there was not much dancing going on yesterday, at least on the stage...
