My daughter sang Christmas songs Today is Saturday. The last school day of the week. Actually my daughter went to school only in the morning because there is no school on Saturday afternoons. This morning was a special one. The school organized a choir with the kindergarten pupils. In France from 3 to 5 there are 3 classes : Petite, moyenne and grande section. My daughter attends the 'Little section'. I'm not sure there is an equivalent in the U.S? Kindergarten is from 5 years old right? Anyway, this morning was the day were little ones had to sing Christmas songs in front of their parents. The kiddos had prepared this event for a while, rehearsed their lyrics and it should be really frightening to see all the parents attending their performance in the school yard. The teachers had set up rows of chairs in the school yard and small benches were installed right under a porch for the kids to sit. While all parents were sitting at their place, we were waiting patiently and a little anxiously our kids to show up. The temperature was just above 3°C, so I was a bit cold but the sun was out and it helped us to bear the coldness. The kids finally appeared wearing Christmas bobtail hats and wondering what this crowd was doing here. They began to sing and I started to weep... I was so proud of my daughter, singing these French rhymes, considering her endeavor to pronounce words correctly.

My daughter sang Christmas songs

Today is Saturday, the last school day of the week. Actually, my daughter went to school only in the morning because there is no school on Saturday afternoons.
This morning was a special one. The school organized a choir with the kindergarten pupils ("students" is less formal/more common). In France, from 3 to 5 there are 3 classes for children 3 to 5 years old : Petite, moyenne and grande sections.
My daughter attends the 'little section'. I'm not sure there is an equivalent in the U.S.? Kindergarten is from 5 years old, right?
Anyway, this morning was the day were when the little ones had to sing Christmas songs in front of their parents.
The kiddos had prepared this event for a while, rehearsed their lyrics and it should be really frightening exciting? nerve-racking? to see all the parents attending their performance in the school yard.
The teachers had set up rows of chairs in the school yard and small benches were installed right under a porch for the kids to sit on.
While all parents were sitting at in their our places, we were waiting patiently and a little anxiously our kids to show up.
The temperature was just above 3°C, so I was a bit cold but the sun was out and it helped us to bear the coldness.
The kids finally appeared wearing Christmas bobtail hats (I've never heard them called "bobtail hats." We usually say "Christmas hat" or "Santa hat") and wondering what this crowd was doing here.
They began to sing and I started to weep. I was so proud of my daughter, singing these French rhymes, considering her endeavor to pronounce words correctly.

Great writing! It sounds like it was a special day.
