Last Friday, Yaya's preschool invited the parents to attend their Thanksgiving program and feast. The classes have been competing to see who could bring the most non-perishable food items to donate to one of our local shelters. Over 1600 boxes and/or cans of food were donated. We're told it took more than 3 truck loads to transport it all to the shelter. GOD IS GOOD! If that weren't enough to celebrate, the kids worked so hard making their own costumes and memorizing songs for their program. Yaya loved being an indian princess and learning about all the wonderful things the Native American Indians did to help the pilgrims.
Yaya's class sang two songs during the program.
"I'm an Indian hunter hunter.
Big Chief Indian hunter hunter.
On my back a quiver quiver.
Full of many arrows arrows.
I will hunt the running deer running deer.
(Yaya sings, "Runny deer Runny deer.")
Softly Quickly he won't hear he won't hear.
I'm an Indian Big hunter hunter.
Big Chief Indian hunter hunter."
Have I mentioned how crazy it makes me that my camera doesn't take good low light pictures?!
The second song was about the indian princesses,
"I'm an indian princess princess
pretty indian princess princess.
On my feet are moccasins moccasins.
On my head a basket basket
full of many acorns acorns.
I will walk the silent path silent path.
Quickly quickly no one sees no one sees.
I'm an Indian princess princess
pretty indian princess princess."
I wish I could share the video we took of the program. The teachers were so creative in finding different ways all 5 classes could take part.
