Gracie & Mother Goose

So today was Gracie's second time to perform in the Mother Goose program at her school. But this year she was a kindergartener! (Last year in preK was the first performance.) The kids all got to pick what they wanted to dress up as & Gracie chose "Mary" as in "Mary Had a Little Lamb."

Here's her whole class. Some of the funnier ones were the 3 blind mice (on the back row) and the spiders (in the back row, too) for Little Miss Muffet. Gracie's lamb (for the show) is next to her in the front row.



So it was a really neat performance. The kindergartners put on black shirts and white gloves and used a special light to perform "Itsy, Bitsy Spider." It was really neat looking and she had lots of fun doing it.

Then they each did a performance for their particular nursery rhyme. Here are some pictures from Gracie's:


This is when the lamb is following her to school.


This was so cute - this was the part in the rhyme when they say "that was against the rule (for the lamb to follow Mary to school." Apparently, Gracie had quite the look on her face. Her teacher said "Gracie was a riot with that pointy finger and funny face!" And that's the Gracie we know and love!

She had so much fun doing it & she just loves it. Even though she is not the most outgoing, she never gets nervous about these performances and really enjoys them.

And for Gracie, I have to put in a picture of her with one of her good friends in the class, Kareth (she was the kitten who had lost her mitten). She and Gracie are great buddies & almost always play "kittens" at recess.
