K-I-N-D-E-R-G-A-R-T-E-N



I can't believe it! Jayden started kindergarten on Monday, August 25th. He is in an all day kindergarten. The first half of the day is spent learning English and the second half is spent learning Spanish. We live in an area that is mainly hispanic. Jayden is actually in the minority at his school. He fits in well right now with his dark tan. I ask him everyday what the kids in his class' names are. He so far only knows one childs name. I believe that he is having trouble getting used to and remembering hispanic names. The child's name that he does know is Brian. He often talks about this boy because he got a "cross-off", which means he got in trouble. He is very concerned about not getting cross-offs. I guess this is a good thing.




The school that Jayden attends requires uniforms. This made shopping for school clothes really easy. Why don't they do this with all schools? I love it. Jayden looks so cute in his uniform.




The first day of school was exciting. He was such a big kid. When we got to school we had to wait around for Bryan to show up. I worried that standing right outside the gate watching other kids crying and screaming would terrify him, but he did not look the least bit terrified as he walked in. He has grown so much.
