Overall, Grandparent's Day 2013 was a great success. The Kindergarteners and first graders performed a dance they have learned in PE, the second graders performed "Great Big House" and the third and forth graders performed "Cupid Shuffle."
The Grandparents loved seeing something more then just singing and they loved the movement. After the mini performance, the students had time to show their grandparents their classrooms. I was not expecting any students, but many came to show off the music room. It was a great experience! The grandparents were able to see some of the activities we do and instruments we play. I heard a few say they wish their music classes would have had instruments ;). I was also able to tell many of the grandparents about our class website, which is a way they can see even more activities that their grandchildren are doing.
Today was an unexpected Advocacy Day and it fits perfectly with Music In Our Schools Month. The more the community knows about music, the more likely they are to care and that will help keep music in our schools for years to come.
