Sunflower Festival

On Friday, November 14, the school held their 8th annual Sunflower Festival. The morning consisted of games and movies for the middle school and high school students while the elementary students put on performances in the gym. In the afternoon the little kids went home and the older ones performed. The students loved it, and I discovered how talented some of my students really are.

The little kids were very adorable. They sang, danced, did tae kwon do, and just ran around the stage smiling and laughing.
The older kids were great. They sang really well, put together some good dance routines, and the tae kwon do was amazing. I thought I would be a little bored with the last one, but it was very very cool. They set it to music and broke boards, bricks, all while doing flips through the air.
They had also set up some of their art in the entryway, and it was amazing. I understand that doesn't say much coming from me, but everyone else was impressed as well! It was a really nice day to hang out and appreciate the talents my students do have, as opposed to being frustrated with the ones they don't.
I have included this video. There are 3 boys and 2 girls, can you tell who is who? The boys are all my students. While they aren't the most concientious students, you can see why I still love them.

so... when do they have the teachers assembly where you guys get to show off your talents??? You could take them to the mall and show them how well you shop... or bring in a bottle of wine and... well, maybe not!!! Looks like you are having a pretty good time over there - miss you (kinda)!!! Hope you are getting your life back together after the purse mishap:) peace!
