The boys’ violin teacher has a violin workshop every year where she invites another Suzuki teacher in to work with her students for a weekend. Last year the teacher was from San Francisco, this year the teacher was from Seattle and she was AMAZING!!!! Each child had a masterclass with her and three other students where they worked on one piece of music together. Then she taught a whole group class for books 1-3 and then another class for kids in books 4 and up. She also gave a parent talk (which was awesome). While we were doing that, the seven and unders were in a dalcroze/eurythmics class while the eight and ups were in a fiddle class.

I am not sure which plot is ours since they aren’t marked yet. There are several community gardens around town, but this one is new and isn’t quite ready. I think the gardening season officially begins in March, which is going to be here before you know it.

I ended up having to help Colm do this project. The stickers we got to do this were IMPOSSIBLE to get off their little sheet. Oh my goodness! If I wouldn’t have helped him, he would have been up until midnight trying to pry those darn stickers off.
