A Recorder Concert

On Thursday, the entire 3rd grade class at Big Flats Elementary School put on a recorder concert. It was really good!!! The school has a recorder Karate program. The children earn "karate belts" (a piece of embroidery floss tied to the end of their recorders). Each song they conquer (they are individually tested) they earn a different colored belt.

Natalie has a purple belt...here is how she earned it:
White Belt: Hot Cross Buns
Yellow Belt: Gently Sleep
Orange Belt: Merrily We Roll Along
Green Belt: It's Raining
Purple Belt (she passed her test the day of the concert): Old McDonald

The concert was great and I was so proud!!!

After the concert, I took the opportunity to get some photos of Natalie and her favorite teachers.
This is Miss Williams, she is Natalie's 3rd grade teacher. She's amazing, I hope Kendall and Nolan have her too!

This is Mrs Felli, she has helped Natalie with reading throughout several grades.

This is Mrs. Decker. She helped Natalie last year, she's awesome!!!
