Tenley in May

 Tenley and Tenley are in a cute musical performing group called TRIO.  Miss Tricia is their adorable teacher.  They focus singing, dancing and performing (hence TRIO).  They did a group number of "There's No Business Like Show Business", they did a vocal performance to "Part of Your World". Tenley's solo was "Flipping your fins you don't get too far, Legs are required for jumping dancing, walking along, down that, what's that word again, STREEEEEEET."  They did a dance to "New York, New York" with top hats and canes.  They all wear black leotards and white tights and Miss Tricia has simple costumes they put over them, little skirts, scarves, etc... I love this sweet simple class.  It's all about the girls, not the costumes or the teacher.  Aspen came to watch their recital this spring and thinks she might want to join up again in the fall.  It's been such a fun thing for Tenley to learn some vocal and dance skills and self-confidence.

 Fourth grade means learning about the state you live in.  The kids each picked a county to learn about and display at the county fair.  Tenley came home with San Juan County (which I was excited about).  They had to make a miniature float, a poster and write a report.  She had to present to the class five interesting facts about her county.

1.  They have filmed some western movies there and part of Back to the Future 3

2.  Rainbow Bridge 

3.  T-shirts are a huge industry

They had to sit at their desks as parents walked through and answer any questions.  She worked really hard and did most of the work by herself.  Even though it was the last few weeks of school, she trudged forward and finished it like a trooper!
