Kindergarten Sharing Night

I finally had a chance to see some of the things Gwen has been doing at school!  They organized a sharing night for family to come in and see some of their artwork and watch a little performance by the Kindergarteners.  They started off by singing a few songs about spring such as "Each of Us is a Flower".  Then they showed a short movie that was acted out by all the Kindergarten students!  It was really neat as they made the whole thing in the classroom with a few props brought from home.  They have a "smartboard" in the classroom (which is a really cool thing that did not exist when I went to school!) which can also be used as a green screen.  That is how they managed all the different backgrounds in the movie.  Anyway, the movie was called "The Curious Garden" and was based on the book of the same name.  It was very cute.  After, we all got to walk around and see all their wonderful artwork.  They've learned some really interesting things so far - like all about Salvador Dali. They even copied some of his work!  It was a perfect night.
