Yearly Archives: 2010

Yesterday (Brittany and I) and today (Angela and Kirstyn), we went to the high school and watched Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night performed by the students.  The cool thing was that Sarah was in the production as the musical talent between scenes!  🙂  She did a great job and had a lot of fun doing it!

She and 3 other students played in a recorder quartet.  She was the soprano recorder, got to dress up in medieval clothes, and was able to play in the box area up and to the right of the stage.  That was probably the most exciting thing for her.  Not many people get to go up there!

The kids did a great job and it was quite funny!

Tonight was round 2 of Parent Teacher Conferences!  We visited Still Middle School first and talked to Kirstyn’s teachers.  She’s doing great and her teachers really love her!

We then went up to visit with Sarah’s teachers at the high school.  She is doing very well and we are proud of her also.  With a little more application, she could be right at all A grades.

Keep up the great work, kids!

Tonight was Kirstyn’s first band concert of middle school!  She was so excited to get there and play for everyone!  She’s quite the little performer!  She practiced really hard and she is quite talented on her Clarinet!

The concert went well and we couldn’t believe it… Zach and Ben came and actually behaved themselves!  We were very grateful for their quiet attitudes tonight!

Tonight was round 1 of Parent Teacher Conferences!  We visited Gombert first and talked to Zach’s teacher.  He’s doing great with the exception of the talking and not listening to his teachers sometimes!  🙁  We need to work with him on that!  Part of it may be that he is bored with what the other kids are doing and wants to be challenged more.  He is usually the first one done with assignments.  He is still reading like crazy and is on a 3rd+ grade level.

We then went up to visit with Brittany’s teachers (and 1 of Sarah’s) at the high school.  She is doing very well and we are proud of her also.  With a little more application, she could be right at all A grades.

We’re interested in what Kirstyn’s and Sarah’s teachers have to say during round 2 next week!

Keep up the great work, kids!

Tonight, Brittany had her first orchestra concert at Metea.  Angela took Kirstyn and went.  Sarah attended her Young Women activity, and I went with Ben to Zach’s football practice.  It just seems like every activity we have, we are conflicted with many other things we need to do as well.  It’s just crazy.

Brittany did a GREAT job and the concert (from what I heard) was absolutely wonderful.  They sounded very professional.  Mr. Liu is a great orchestra director and teacher.  He is tough on the kids, but they really learn a lot and improve.  Brittany’s confidence and skill has drastically improved, even over the last 2 weeks of private lessons.

Great job Brittany!  Go Go Mustangs!
