Our week in review.....

Peyton started singing lessons again. Oh my, what was I thinking??? This year she has a different teacher since we are in a different area. This teacher seems much more on top of things and structured. Peyton came home with homework from her first lesson. Ok, she just has to look up and write the definition of performance, but still, it's homework.

She came right home and showed me her breathing exercises. She has to lay down and put a lightweight object (the tape dispenser was her object of choice) on her midsection and then make la, la, la, la sounds and see if the object goes up and down. If it does, she's doing it correctly and breathing with her diaphragm instead of just her chest.

Here is her notebook to write down her homework and make notes about the songs they are learning. Her group should have several performances throughout the next few months. They are even going to try out as a group to sing the National Anthem at a sporting event (not sure which one yet...). Peyton is hoping she'll get to be on TV. She has big dreams of being a star!
Peyton is learning to write cursive at school. She learns three or four new letters every day and she comes home so excited to practice them. She is getting so big!!!!

This week Sydnie is learning about the letter "E" at school. She came home on Tuesday with this beautiful elephant hat/mask. It was great until she put it over her eyes and ran into the wall. That was the end of playing elephant.....
