Patriotism and Music

At school the boys have been learning to play the ukuleles. They have also been learning about American history. Tonight we were lucky enough to witness what they have been learning at their Patriotic program. They sang patriotic songs, played their ukuleles, and shared some American history tidbits. I enjoyed it, both times! The concluding song was "Proud to be an American" and it brought tears to my eyes. I hope the boys felt it too. I hope they understand how blessed they are to live in a free country where they can go to school and learn, play video games, but legos, learn about Jesus, etc. I hope they are proud to be Americans!


Each class did the progam and each child had either a speaking part or a solo or played in small groups. Here is Cole who had a little solo part and a group part. He has really enjoyed learning to play the ukulele and is pretty good too. He plays the guitar left handed, but has learned teh ukulele right handed.


Noah had a speaking part and played with a small group as well. He did awesome at both! Notice how much taller Z is than Noah. He is one of the boys good friends and we always laugh about how much taller he is than the boys.
