Just like every 2nd grade class at our school before his, Jack’s had a patriotic performance at the end of May. However, year after year the 2nd grade class had sung, among others, the “50 Nifty United States” song—Ella had sung, and still to this day sings, this song over and over and over again so many times that Jack pretty much knew it coming into 2nd grade. This year, however,—and I think we’re all thankful for this—the music teacher and 2nd grade teachers decided to change it up and select songs based on a unit the kids had been studying that could also be tied into patriotism, landforms. They sang folk songs and classic American songs from around the country and even had an intro and closing song set to the tune of “Surfin’ USA”. It was adorable and very well done.
Jack was the Star of the Week for his class in early May—he came home with this paper on the Friday that we left for a weekend in Kanuga and Ella went to Savannah with her Girl Scout Troop. Needless to say, not a lot of time was spent completing his poster, but it’s fun to note some of his favorites at this point in time.
favorite color – orange, favorite animal – elephant, favorite food – bacon
