October 2, 2020 we had our performance night for September, since was it was the end of the week. Clara and Anna performed Work, and Hearts are Like Doors, both by Anonymous.
Isaiah performed A Tragic Story by William Makepeace Thackeray. I was most impressed with his improvement the last few days before the performance. He went from being embarrassed to being very confident and expressive. Isaiah also performed a piano piece – the last piece in his method book.
Becca gave a book report on Our of Hiding by Catherine Farnes. Becca also performed two piano pieces. And a highlight was Becca and Isaiah performing their first duet together. They did great!
We added a new performer – Ezra, who performed Eric Carle’s book From Head to Toe. He loves to bow and pretend to say his sister’s poems all the time – but this night he had a little stage fright.
After Josh and I gave book reports, we ended with a play by the Jensen Children entitled Courtship Tips from the Birds. The kids and I came up with the idea during our science lesson about male birds and their attraction techniques. The kids did a great job! We didn’t tell Josh about the play topic and so we could surprise him. He laughed several times, so we knew it was a success!
And now for the video!
