Oh I love how they bop and sway and get into it. Aussie children's choirs do not bop. Have you ever flown Qantas and seen the children's choir in its ads? No boppin' and swayin' there. No sireee.

I love their enthusiasm and imagine with a teacher like that -- who is eager for them to sing contemporary music -- it is hard not to have enthusiasm in that class. What a wonderful way to start the new year, thank you for finding this for us. Happy New Year Melisa!

I love this! I read the article in the Times last week and fell in love with them and their teacher.

And...P.S. 22 is Staten Island. I have to point this out because I am very protective (sometimes) of my oft-maligned hometown. ;-)

Happy new year!

You're welcome, Angie...so happy to hear you like it! I've got about 2/3 left to go but I am loving it so far.

cute kids and a great age. a year from now they'll all be 'whatevs.'

spoken with authority from the father of a 6th grader (duh!!)

That is absolutely amazing!!! I sat here with a goofy smile on my face the whole time watching it. Thanks so much for that!

Relyn said...

Oh, Bee!! Last time I was here I left without commenting. I was too busy crying. I am such a sucker for stuff like this. My wish for this year is that all children will have at least one such moment this year. Look at those faces!!

please sir said...

They are so great to watch - they are so IN to it! Love it! Happy New Year!

Laura @ Shoot-Scoop said...

LOVE this!!! Thanks for much for sharing. Staten Island is my hometown! Go PS 22!!!

Jessie said...

Made my day!!! I could just hug those kids!

Especially the ones who bring their hand up to their hearts while they sing... it's like they've never meant anything more in their little lives.

Presh.

Jesse, I know...it totally got me! So sweet. If you google PS 22, there are a bunch of songs on youtube. I give that teacher so much credit! So inspiring.
