Ellie's Class Celebration

I helped teach a class at Varendra (Franklin's music center). It was for mothers and their young children to learn English through song. Ellie participated, partly to help because she knows English and partly to have fun. It's good for kids to get together and sing! These are pictures from the celebration on the last day.

Families were invited to come and watch the moms and kids sing the songs they'd learned. So, Franklin and Abraham got dressed up and came along to watch. And since we were all dressed up, we got a family photo.

 Here's the group singing songs in a circle.

And this is us singing London Bridge. Two mommies made a bridge and the kids walk around in a circle going under the bridge as we all sing. When it gets to the last line "my fair lady" the mommies drop their arms and we catch whoever is going under the bridge. The kids would laugh and laugh and laugh. Below is a blurry picture, but it shows Ellie being caught and how much the kids loved it.

And finally here is Abraham with Nana (Grandpa) John, one of his favorite people on Earth. Ever since he was little, Abraham has gladly gone to John without crying and if he is upset, John can calm him down. 

 It was a fun celebration.
