Landen Starts Kindergarten

Today, Landen started Kindergarten! I can't believe it. I had to get the usual first day of school pictures by my door.

Best buddies. Gage is excited to have Landen joining him at his school and hopes he will see him around.

I am such an embarrassing mom and have to get pictures of them standing everywhere. Landen didn't mind. He was pretty excited to be starting Kindergarten.

This first day was a mini orientation. The parents learned about the Kindergarten routine while the kids were able to do some crafts and get used to the teachers and classroom.

Since Landen is in Chinese Immersion, he has two teachers. Mr. Lan will only speak in Chinese. Here Mr. Lan is teaching the kids Head, shoulders, knees and toes in Chinese. It was amazing how quickly the kids caught on. Landen is in the front.

Mrs. Larsen will be Landen's other teacher and will teach in English. I didn't know until today that Mrs. Larsen was actually a friend of mine I have known all of my life. We grew up playing soccer together. Small world!

Landen had to make a treasure map. I love how he sticks his tongue out when he is trying to concentrate.

The finished product.

I am so nervous and excited for Landen to be starting kindergarten. He will be there for an extended day because of the Chinese and will even eat lunch there. I hope he can open his milk carton! We love you Landen. We know you will do great!
