Friday afternoon Amanda had her third grade musical program. Each third grade class performed a song and/or dance representing a different cultural group and they all wore tie-dyed shirts . Amanda's class performed "Follow the Drinking Gourd" which was a song the slaves in America used to sing. The kids got to make a maraca-like instrument with an actual gourd and they used these during their song. The whole program was really good and each class did really great with their presentations. One thing that bothered me though was that they held it at 2:00 in the afternoon. The kids put a lot of effort into this program and then they held it at a time when so many of their parents couldn't come. Who's idea was that?

Amanda's program sounds like it was really great! You're right though,the idea to hold it at a time when most parents would be in the middle of their work day wasn't a very bright one! Hopefully someone video taped it so these parents can still enjoy it! Tell Amanda, Well Done!
