It was the Multi-Age Community's Harvest Breakfast on Wednesday, before Thanksgiving break. The program began with a song called "Grateful". Then we had a yummy, light breakfast of muffins, little smokies (cooked by Matthew for close to 500 people), fruit, and drinks.
Each class then got to choose a performance to reflect on what the kids had been learning so far in the year. Lanie's class performed a reader's theater about the water cycle. We practiced again and again to get her to slow down and say each of the 4 words, but once she got on the stage she got nervous (totally understandable) and put them all together. Her words were supposed to be, "Hi, how are you." Carter's class performed 3 beautiful poems. Carter's part was to introduce the first poem and then join in chorally for the last 2. The first poem was called "Iowa Child" (I must use it in my classroom soon!) and the last 2 poems were a beautiful thank you to parents for their support and guidance, of course I cried then.
The morning ended with the kids forming a circle around the audience and singing and signing the song, "Swimmin' to the Other Side."
Most of the family was able to come celebrate:)
We are SO thankful for our wonderful teachers' patience and kindness.
