Just a little video from the Fiesta de las Artes. This was at the kids' school, and it's of Ella playing a xylophone.
The school has an arts and sciences emphasis and each month they study a different artist. This month it has been Diego Rivera and last night's Open House had a Mexican theme and we enjoyed chips, cheese dip and salsa as we watched the children perform. Each grade presented something from the Hispanic culture. Some grades learned Mexican dances that they performed and others sang songs and played instruments. Our kids all sang and Cooper and Ella played the xylophone. Ella's class also made and decorated maracas. They had Norma Pintar (a traditional Mexican dancer) perform and she has also been at the school teaching the kids in 4th and 5th grades dances the past couple of weeks. I think there were close to 500 people there last night, which is a great turnout for a small charter school. Being on the PFA, I helped prepare and serve the chips, cheese dip and salsa. YumYum!
