Holiday Concert with H

This morning we got treated with an awesome concert at H's school. I'm always amazed at the show they put on, and the 2nd and 3rd graders were very impressive. The 2nd grade sang I Saw Three Ships (H played xylophone) and Kye, Kye, Kule, a West African call-and-response song (wow - I found video of the actual production of this song here!). Third grade sang a Hanukkah song, In the Window, and a very sweet version of The Twelve Days of Christmas. Together they sang The Hope of the Future, and signed along with it. It was really wonderful. As an extra treat for H, Brian was the "mystery reader" in his classroom in the afternoon. They enter the room covered in a blanket, and the children have three clues to guess. H got it right away, and couldn't have been more thrilled. From the sounds of it, Brian had a pretty awesome time too. (He read Sancho the Snowboarder, and it was a big hit.)
