Musical Arts Schoolhouse Christmas Program

The winter program at her school showcased all the hard work that they have put into music and art thus far in the year at MAS. We were floored at how organized and talented both the teachers and students have been. First of all, hats off to any teacher who teaches 16 three to five year olds at a time. Hats AND shoes to those who teach art, music, dance or theater to the same children. The detail that was put into this program was just unreal. It was set up like an art show with wire racks on both sides displaying their art work. More on that later.

The program started with a performance. There were so many songs, poems, and dances too. They sang "The chubby little snowman" (our favorite I'll try to get on tape), a Spanish version of Frosty, showed us their piano skills and did some dancing in there as well. It was so so cute! Ava was on the back row so it was hard to get a good pic. However, we have fabulous pictures of Gwendolyn's performances, as well as wonderful video. =)

Next was the art show. We walked around and found their displayed work. Ms. Kerry explained to us the artists that they studied and the significance of their work. So they had everything from a self-portrait a la Picasso, to black and white photography (that they took themselves of nature = so so cute!), a la Ansel Adams. They also incorporate Science into the curriculum and studied solids and liquids while creating soap sculptures.

We were just floored! It was a great winter performance.
