On Friday we celebrated our Valentine's Day event. It was very cute. CJ and Jill and Sophie and Abbie and Ella and Alexis and Scotty came all dressed up. The other children looked their usual school-beautiful The children seemed to enjoyed the dancing.
During the week, we practiced a dance we created similar to what we see in the movies coming from the early eighteenth century. It was difficult for the kids to learn this probably because they had never seen anything like it. But all in all they did a good job. This kind of dancing actually gives the kids something to do on a dance floor besides wiggle and snake. Dancing is something we learn to do. It's a social achievement.
We want to thank all the parents who were kind enough to bring a treat to share. It is always nice to put on a big spread and enjoy each others company for a short time. The treats that are left over are used the next week as prizes and special treats - nothing goes to waste.
Joseph and Rachel Go received our prize for the first dancing adult couple. They got a box of homemade candy compliments of the Garden School. We hope they enjoy their treat.
One of the fun things I saw was Mr. Austin approach Miss Emily and present her with a red rose and ask her to dance. She was beaming, and they danced for a little while to some of the old pop music.
The afternoon ended gracefully, and we are obliged to all our parents for attending.
