On Saturday we got our first snow of the season, and it was a big one! The kids spent as much time as they could outside building snowmen and rolling around in the snow. Bobo got a bunch of practice putting on his snow gear. Rose Pink actually got up early on Sunday morning so she could go out before church and play in the snow some more. That girl has legendary snow love. It was so fun to have the first snow be really serious snow that the kids enjoyed so much.
This weekend was Rose Pink's piano recital as well. The teacher structured the recital as a 'piano play' where she worked all the kids' music into a story about a spaceship from Earth finding a planet called Pacem and peace on earth, etc. Rose Pink performed Canon in D, which she has been working on since the summer. Here she is at the piano in the spaceship:
At the end of the program, the teacher handed out the medals. Her students all earn points through the year for practice time, remembering their books, cooperation, performance, etc., and the top points earners win gold, silver and bronze medals. Rose Pink tied with another student for the gold. She has consistently applied herself in a very mature way to her practice and it was nice to have her hard work acknowledged. She said, "It was so nice of Mrs. Martin to pick me" and I reminded her that this is an award that she earned through her own efforts. I'm so proud of her.
Here she is with the chocolate piano she won:
