We decided to join the homechool chorus this year and today was our first meeting. We meet at a fire station up in Dunkirk. It is about an hour drive for me, but well worth the effort. Tracey (the teacher) seems to be very good with the kids. Musa really liked her. She is energetic and positive. She also teaches many different intruments. Musa is taking recorder lessons with her for the first 45 minutes and then both the kids do the choir. There are 50 kids. The will be working on two productions, one for Christmas and one in the spring.
The Christmas pagent is quite Christian, but after a deep sigh and help from my dear friend Kristin, I decided I can also use this as part of our religions/social studies. We got a good chuckle out of it.
The play requires costumes of camels, lions and donkeys, so should be fun. It will be held in early December.
Other than that it has been a routine day. Anna is coming to spend a few days with us and Retta is soooo happy. She even cleaned her room so they can play dolls! I miss her and look forward to some great chats.
