Disney's The Jungle Book Kids

Nate and Evie attend a charter school whose focus is on the arts. They take dance, theater, music, and art in addition to their core subjects. Each semester they work toward a performance to show the skills they've been learning in dance, theater, and music. Grades Kindergarten-2nd perform together. This semester they have been especially excited to be preparing for Disney's The Jungle Book Kids. Evie was a flower and Nate was an elephant in the elephant troupe.

Their arts teachers do an INCREDIBLE job preparing for these performances, and I've been blown away by each one we've seen so far. So, I was really looking forward to seeing The Jungle Book. Nate and Evie have been listening to the music for it and singing the songs all semester (so of course I have them all memorized too), and they've even been acting it out for fun at home. The performance did not disappoint, and we were especially proud of Evie. She has improved tremendously since the fall semester performance in her confidence on stage and in her ability. She was comfortable on stage, and it was such a gift to watch her perform so confidently. And she LOVED every minute of it! Needless to say, we are proud of both of them!

 It was difficult to get good pictures of the performance, and I really just wanted to watch and not worry about pictures anyway. This one turned out okay. Evie is the flower in the front row with the black leotard and green tutu.
