1st grade circus

Friday, 4/27/12 - Lauren's 1st grade circus!

I was so impressed with this production! So much work for the 2 first-grade teachers, and they did such an awesome job. :D  The circus included ring-leaders, acrobats, lion-tamers, snake-charmers, elephants & trainers, muscle-men & woman, jugglers, seal-tamers, dancing bears... it was adorable. (think I named them all ;)

Lauren was 1 of 3 acrobats, and she did a fantastic job! Started with front rolls down &  back on the mat..

Cartwheels were next, but I was trying to run the camcorder plus take pictures and it didn't work :( Then they walked across the alphabet 'balance-beam' you see behind them, and they ended with this tower.

All the kiddos seemed super excited for all of their classmates. They laughed & danced along with whomever was entertaining the crowd.

I believe they were laughing at the clowns here, who were hilarious :)

walking up for the finale...

Then they sang an adorable song thanking everyone for coming to watch their circus :)

Bio's of all the participants were on the wall that they filled out themselves.

Went to her classroom to pick her up and finally got an individual shot :D I just can't believe her 1st-grade year is almost over...and she'll be an even 'bigger' 2nd-grader next year. (sigh )

On another note, I'm pretty sure there is a similar pic of me from my first-grade circus! (Mimi says she's going to try and find it ;)
