We won a sing a long with Ally’s kindergarten teacher, Jim, in a silent auction at school. It was a fundraiser for the 8th grade field trip and Ally loves to sing and thought it would be lots of fun to have friends over for a sing a long. We’re always up for a party!
It was a long invite list – We let Ally make the guest list and when she reached 20 friends we told that was all. We were a little concerned that 20 friends with siblings and parents would be WAY to many people for our house. But it all worked out. Becky and I thought it was interesting who Ally had on the list. The Guat Girls (none of whom could come) neighborhood friends and school friends and of course Stella who is a preschool friend. 12 friends came along with 7 siblings and 16 parents. It was a nice mix of people and Jim sang for an hour! He had told us 30-40 minutes depending on the crowd. But the kids were amazing and sang along with him and listened and it was a fantastic party. Afterwards we had ice cream and headed over to the nearby splash park to cool off.
Ally and Jim. Jim has almost all of his songs on large paper and a child always points along to the words. It’s a great way for kids to see the words and help with reading and for parents to sing a long too.
Stella, Violet and Maya were the 3 little birds accompanying Jim. And yes we all packed in to watch and listen.
It was fun for Becky and I to see Ally having so much fun.
Ally’s favorite song to sing at school is Barquito de Papel.
This is Jim’s last year of teaching and so it was even more special to have him over for this fun event.
At the park with Stella and Violet. The girls and other friends had fun cooling off in the fountain.
