Kindergarten End of Year Celebration

At the end of the year Caden's Kindergarten puts on a very well organized end of year celebration.  The kids practiced a variety of songs for months ahead of time, and they sounded wonderful!  Not only did they sing the words, but did hand motions (sign language?) to go along with all of the songs.  Well.. most of the children sang, danced, smiled and did hand motions :)  Can you guess who did not?!  Caden has never been much of a singer, or I should say performer.  He often does not like to try new things if we are watching, we suspected this day would not be any different.  It is okay, we were highly entertained by him in a different way!  And got very excited when he did mouth a few words.  The rest of the kids were fabulous!

This is what happened if we ever made eye contact

And then this!

Most of the time he looked like this!

They do half of the Kindergarten on one day, the other half the next day.  Or I should say a quarter since it is half of the morning session.  Unfortunately it threatened rain so we had to have it inside.

After the performance we went back to Caden's classroom where the assistant teacher had prepared a slide show set to music of photos she had taken doing all the activities, field trips and other fun events throughout the year.  It was so nice!  Rob video taped it.. only to find out after they made copies for everyone!  Caden played shy for the first half of the "reception" afterwards.

Caden and his teacher Mrs. Childs, a fantastic teacher!  We really hope that Cole and Cora can have  her too!

This is Caden's friend's little brother, he was such a hoot swinging around his Mom's pocket book!  I also was entertained when he went up to another Mom to admire her handbag as well!

We were able to get a few photos of Caden and a few of his friends.  By the time he warmed up to the idea some of his friends had gone home.

Here we are!  We chose to leave the littler ones at home so we could enjoy ourselves without  worrying about them scurrying around or being loud during the performance.

After the celebration I went back to work. Caden and Rob had a guy date and went out for lunch and then  mini golfing.  Fun day!
