Catching Up, Part I: Hillary the Penguin

On Tuesday, February 12, the three sections of first-graders in our daughters' elementary school joined forces to present Penguin Program (I know: clever title), a performance in four parts: Snowetry, three snow-themed poems and songs; Penguin Poetry, six penguin-themed songs and poems; Valentine, a Valentine's Day-themed poem; and Penguin Polka, a song-and-dance routine.

I didn't get to see it because the performance time conflicted with a class that I teach. However, Hillary reenacted the entire thing for me later that evening over supper, and Susan (who was able to attend) snapped some pics:

And with penguin masks added!
