Katie's Art & Music Night

Tonight Katie had her school's art & music night, where the kids get to show off everything they've learned this year in art and music classes. The kids' artwork was posted in all of the hallways and in the library. They made many art projects this year and each kid got to pick one project to display for this event. Katie picked her "Op Art" project, where they carved styrofoam, painted it, and ran it through a press to make a print. I forgot to take a picture of it tonight. Oops. Bad mom.

Then we went to the gym and were treated to a nice performance of song and dance by the 2nd graders. See Katie in the blue flowered dress?

Some kids performed dances to the songs, others played percussion, and Katie's group played the xylophones!

The finale was a rousing version of "Stars & Stripes Forever" with the kids playing the rhythm with paper plates...you had to be there to appreciate it. We got a front-row seat and had a great night.

Afterwards we met up with the girls' BFFs (a family with 3 girls), and the six girls were wild and crazy together and scarfed down a zillion cookies. They had a blast tonight.
