Rainbow Fish Play

Gavin's classroom performed "The Rainbow Fish" for us last week, and it was just about the cutest thing in the world! The class actually had three "performances" so that each kid could have a turn to play a character. Here is the backdrop that they created:




Gavin played the Rainbow Fish in the first performance. His teacher is putting on his costume:

Here he is with the student who played the Little Blue Fish. Only the Rainbow Fish got to wear a costume.

The video below doesn't have anything to do wih the Rainbow Fish, but every Wednesday the school had a "dance party" where everyone goes out into the hall and dances to one song, then goes back to what they were doing. We just happened to be there on Wednesday! Gavin is in the red shirt in the middle of the hall, showing off his moves:





The videos below are from the play. The kids are "swimmimg" when they are walking around on their knees.

When all the performances were complete, we got to hang out in the Cat room and have a snack and play with the baby chicks.




Gavin wanted all of us to take a turn holding one. Francis went first. Gavin showed him how to hold it:

Nana got a turn:

Grandpa got a turn as well. So did I, but my chick unfortunately decided to poop and pee while I was holding it. SIGH. Just my luck!

We had a great time and were very impressed with all the classroom activities. The chicks have since returned to the farm, and the kids have moved on to a new unit - on pizza!
