With Purim in the air it is an exciting time at IJP. KDH celebrated Rosh Chodesh Adar on Monday, baking hamantaschen, then eating some and saving the rest for Mishloach Manot. On Tuesday, Morah Sara came in and taught us about scales and rhythm (see previous blog post).
Wednesday was the big day! We all buckled into our car seats and were off. We arrived at Sanford Porter Community Center and were shown to our seats. Wow, fancy seats that spring up and down. Be careful, don't slide back. The program included our being introduced to all the instruments, singing of an operatic, jazz and rock and roll nature, music to Dr. Seuss' Gerald Boing Boing and a march, singer Wendy Bennett and two dancers. What an interesting program!
Ask the KDH children about an orchestra. They will tell you about the different families of instruments that all make beautiful music together.
Thursday, we all brought in costumes for show and tell. We acted out the Purim story and the four mitzvot of Purim.
Today, Friday, a Fire Truck and puppet show is the excitement. Hey, we can be Firemen too!
