Rapping Christmas

Bells today actually went really well! We practiced our two November songs (both sound decent just sight reading) and one Christmas song. That one could use a little work. While I focused on one half of them, the other half (ahem, the boy half) came up with a rap version of the song we were playing: Away in a Manger/Still, Still, Still. 

The end of bells was chaotic since no one wanted to pack up. The 6th graders and I brainstormed a solution and came up with the idea that everyone has one job they do. At the end of the day the 7-8th graders joined us and we picked sticks for who is doing what. One job for everyone! Now I'm going to type it and have it posted on the back of the door/on my music stand so everyone remembers what they have to do. 

Now I'm off to church for a Christmas program meeting with Pastor, our bible school superintendent, and Mrs. L. We're going to share survey results with them and hopefully come up with a decision about the service...
