Apparently the First Grade Program is at the beginning of the year instead of the end of the year. So for those of you who like to hear Cole sing, here are some new songs for your enjoyment!
This year the First Grade Program focused on American Pride. They began with the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem (which I didn't record).
Then, they sang God Bless the USA.
They followed this with a short first-grade level history of our country.
They began with Columbus,
And the Pilgrims and the Indians.
Then, they recited some important information about our history. This is Cole's contribution.
Next, they recited and signed the Preamble, which I thought was quite impressive!
They described the flag,
And what we should do when we see the flag (This one should sound familiar!!).
They talked about some of the first Presidents.
They finished with the classic, This Land is Your Land,
and a song about the most American things of all!
As you can tell they did a great job and learned a lot about our country!
Her new backpack that she found at a garage sale. She couldn't wait for school to start so she could use it!
Emily and Addy posing for a shot. Addy kind of likes the Mom and Addy time that she gets when both Emily and Cole are gone!
I'm pretty sure we'd better savor these preschool years because when kindergarten hits, she is going to catch the eye of a lot of boys!
This year the First Grade Program focused on American Pride. They began with the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem (which I didn't record).
And discovered that our golfing skills need a little bit of work!
Addy was very good at her job of retrieving the ball out of the hole though!
Although sometimes she retrieved the balls before we were finished!
By the end, we were doing much better! Cole was not swinging the club like a baseball bat,
and Emily was holding the club correctly, sort of!
After we had mastered the miniature golf course, we moved onto the batting cages. The kids thought this was great fun and they even hit a few!
Watch out Trafalga, We'll be back!!!
