Reader's Theater

I'm not sure if I've already mentioned it but Gavin is in a French Immersion program at school.  Basically that means that he goes to an English-speaking teacher for half of the school day and a French-speaking teacher for the other half.  Because of this, their curriculum is quite a bit different from the other 1st graders in the school.  On November 16th, the two teachers put together a little program with both of their classes.  The kids sang in English & French, recited a Thanksgiving poem in English, and showed off a few other things they have learned in French.  It was quite impressive.  

We were glad that Grandma Tisa, Grandpa Dave, and Emily & Miley could join Owen, the twins, & I at this "Thanksgiving Reader's Theater."  Unfortunately, Spence had a busy day at work and couldn't break away.  

We really enjoyed watching Gavin...he is such a HAM!  Seriously, the boy may end up on Broadway someday.  His expressions and movement really steal the show!  This video is a portion of a French number they did.  If you take the time to watch it, you will see that the kids were supposed to sing most of the lines but let the recording sing alone through some of the difficult words...Gavin sang the entire song!  He said he knew the words, so why wouldn't he sing???
