The Star-Spangled Banner, There Are Many Flags, America the Beautiful, Yankee Doodle Dandy, This Land Is Your Land, America, All-American Me and You, and You're a Grand Old Flag. Sofia actually came home at the end of the school year in June with the lyrics for all the songs so she could practice over the summer. She actually did practice occasionally and seemed to know the words and tunes already. Once school started back up at the end of August, it was clear that Sofia and her classmates were practicing a lot since Sofia would return from school and "practice" singing to us in Olivia's bedroom. She even had me print out a photo of an American flag and she taped it to the wall of Olivia's room. She spent several weeks after school singing to us and Olivia picked up the lyrics and would sing along with her. It was very cute!
Finally, it was the night of the program and Sofia put on her blue and white twirl skirt and a pinkish-red shirt, since all the kids were asked to wear red, white and blue. I actually had a hard time finding a real "red" shirt so we went with the closest colored shirt she already had. She really looked adorable and was so excited to sing in the program. Unfortunately, CK was traveling and couldn't attend the program, so I was sure to take a lot of pictures and videos. The kids did a great job and the show went perfectly! The kids even sounded great singing together and Sofia really was into it. After the show, Sofia was super excited to be involved in the program.
