Today was the last day of the local Homeschool Classes' fall semester. The parents who taught the classes truly outdid themselves. Here J shows off his soccer certificate of accomplishment, and a nice little trophy (that the moms running the program obviously footed the bill for themselves, as it was a no-charge class!). I was blown away, to say the least -- what an amazing, dedicated group of homeschooling parents!
The Homeschool Chorus poses for a portrait with their teacher (a wonderful professional music teacher hired by the homeschooling group to instruct our kids). J is 2nd from the right, in the red and blue shirt.
The chorus treated us to a performance of the songs they've worked on this semester. Parents and siblings and grandparents and friends filled the room as the kids performed on the stage, it was quite a crowd!
J and some of his buddies taking direction from their teacher during the performance. J was so excited to get to "show off" all of the songs he'd learned -- he's been practicing a lot the past few weeks, wandering off in the pasture by himself when we're out doing chores. I could hear his sweet voice riding on the breeze, and if I asked him later, he'd say "oh, I was just practicing my chorus singing".
The kids take bow at the end of their concert. Lots of smiles all around.J's sad to see the semester end, but is excited about the 4 week "intersession" that is being held prior to the winter semester. He's registered for Chorus and African Drumming, and can't wait to be making music with his friends again.
