1st Grade Spring Concert

Thursday evening Clifford performed in the 1st grade Spring Concert. All three classes sang songs about "Creepy Creatures" (bugs). Clifford stood in the front row and looked very handsome. There was a bit of concern by the teachers leading up to this evening. Notes were sent home saying the music teacher was very frustrated by the lack of listening and seriousness students showed during practices. It was noted that this was the worst behavior the teacher had EVER encountered in a first grade class as a whole. Peter and I did our part by discussing with Clifford the importance of listening and behaving. And his teacher, Mrs. Webster, 'bribed' the kids in the class that if none of her students were pulled off stage during the performance, she would let the class have an extra science project on Friday (nice! better than candy!). Only one child was pulled off stage, but he was from the other class. All in all, we enjoyed an hour of listening to all the dressed up toothless 1st graders sing to us about creepy crawly creatures. OH! and a few hours before the concert, Clifford lost his 4th tooth!! It happened while we were in the car. He was very excited knowing the tooth fairy would be coming that night and leaving him $4.
