Lexi's End of Year Performance

Today Lexi had her end of year performance at New England Montessori School. She's just been there since April, but she's done very well and we've all been very happy. She has been singing her little songs every where we go, but I honestly thought she would clam up when she got up on stage. Another mom and I actually chatted about it before the show. But she walked right into the room, sat where she was supposed to, smiled at me, and patiently waited for her class's turn to go up. When it was their turn she walked nicely onto stage, sang the whole song (three actually) and walked nicely back to her seat. It was beautiful. I was so impressed with all of the children and how well they sang their songs and also followed directions in such an overwhelming situation. Here are some pictures and video of two of the songs.

The words to this song are:

If you see a piece of litter pick it up
Pick it up!
If you see a piece of litter pick it up
Pick it up!
If you see a piece of litter, you can make the world look better
If you see a pirce of litter pick it up
Pick it up!


The words to this song are:

We used to be so young and tiny
now we're growing big and strong

ABCs and 123s, colors shapes
we've learned them all

We've made new friends at Montessori
Now we're ready to move on

Thank you all for teaching us
remember us when we are gone. (and then all the moms cry) :)

While most kids will have the summer off, Lexi will be back in class on Tuesday as she will be attending NEMS for summer camp as well. She's really looking forward to it, although a little nervous about meeting new friends again.
