I know you've all been waiting anxiously for me to post these pictures, and here they are, in true 'better late than never' form.
This program is held every year to show the parents how much their precious little kiddies have learned from the esteemed foreigners. Right. Nevermind that the teaching of the songs and choreography actually halted all teaching of English for over a month...
Here's a rundown of the program:
My class performed The Eentsy Weentsy Spider, I'm a Little Teapot, and The Bugs Go Marching.
Liz's class performed Yellow Submarine, Phantom of the Opera, and Oh What a Circus.
Marc's class performed We Are the Champions, Octopus's Garden, and Russian Dance.
All three classes performed The Can-Can and Puff the Magic Dragon with orchestra instruments and ended with choreographed chaos to It's a Small World.
A big thanks to Miss Amy for her help with some of the costumes!

Margie, the children look lovely. If they never learn another word of English, they'll alway have Eentsy Weensty Spider rolling around in their heads. I used to love that song as a kid. Your costumes are fantastic too. The spider has a really great expression! You know he's missing two legs though, right?
Hi there,
I taught at that LCI Kids Club from 2003-2004. It was great looking through your photos! Funny to see some of my former students all grown up. Hope all is well.
