This past week we had the joy of attending Jac's very first Christmas Play. Wow, was it exciting! Izy could hardly contain herself!
Jac's class were elves and sang first. They "sang" 3 songs with plenty of motions. Since, the majority of the class is barely 2 there was not much singing going on, but they were surprisingly very good at the motions!
The reason this blog is titled "Ode to Miss Kelley" is beautifully depicted in this next picture. This is Jac's class...ranging in age from about 2 to 2 1/2 years. Well, I should say this is Jac's class minus one sick kid and one kid who was kindly removed from the stage due to an uncontrollable crying outburst. As you can see, not one kid is doing the same thing as another. Much like I am sure they are everyday in class. But the patience that Miss Kelley has to not only love them and teach them on a regular basis, but then go above and beyond by leading them in 3 songs complete with motions in front of a sea of parents, cameras, and video cameras is literally mind boggling! We salute (and thank) you Miss Kelley!
Break time...
Now the Christmas Play gets even more entertaining when all of the classes get on stage to perform the final four songs with musical instruments. My little elf looks a little weary...
She finally found an instrument!
Shortly after that picture, she spotted me, and then gram, in the crowd and it was all over! She did a great job though and I honestly could not have been more proud. Izy had had enough by the time all the festivities had died down...she just laid back!
