Before Halloween, Jaden and Cody's preschool had a Community Helper Parade. It seemed to be their way of allowing the kids to dress up without having a huge emphasis on Halloween. The morning started with the monthly Early Childhood chapel service. Jaden and Cody are in the front row, right next to their music teacher Mrs. Fisher. We enjoyed hearing the full-length versions of the songs that they often sing in pieces at home. :)
The Early Childhood Center encouraged kids to come dressed as community helpers, so Jaden borrowed a policeman costume from his cousin Ian while Cody wore a doctor's outfit from our dress-up tub.
Grammy and Papa were able to join us for the morning events too.
Immediately after chapel, the kids lined up for a parade through the "big school." All of the K-8 students were either standing outside or sitting on the floor in the hallways, ready to give the early childhood kids high fives. It was very cute! I think Cody and Jaden felt very important, especially when some of the older students would comment on their costumes.
After the parade, we went to the playground area where Cody and Jaden picked out a pumpkin that they could take home.
Here are the boys with their entire PreK Butterfly class. You'll notice that some parents stretched the idea of a community helper, as far as costumes go. :) Jaden and Cody's class is divided into two different groups, orange and blue butterflies, which they use for small group learning during the school day. Jaden is at the top middle with his orange butterfly group, and Cody is on the bottom left with the blue butterflies.
What a fun event. I really love how the big kids were ready to welcome the little ones and give them high fives. That must have made the early childhood kids feel so special. Did the kindergartners join you in the parade, too?
