First Kindergarten Show

On Friday, the parents were invited to an early afternoon kindergarten show. We did not know exactly what to expect. Upon arrival, the parents were seated, while the children were hidden behind a large curtain. Each parent received a custom programme, with their child's drawing on the cover:

We were then enchanted by almost 20 5-year olds singing about owls, butterflies, and Halloween. Our 5-year old is very shy, so I was not certain that she would participate. Surprisingly, she sang every song. At the end, the wonderful teacher told a story about a mouse and her piece of cheese as they built a house that magically turned into a pumpkin. The children seemed genuinely dazzled. The kids then enjoyed festive snacks provided by the parents. Our kindergartener has been looking forward to the show all week, and now continues to sing the songs daily.
