Senita Valley Carnival

One of the things that I love about the Vail School District is the pride they have in their schools and the sense of community you get when visiting them.  There was a carnival at a local school called Senita Valley this evening and since I am slowly visiting each Vail Elementary school to find out where to send Hayden to kinder, I figured it was just one more to check out.  The school was beautiful with signs all around with reminders to be respectful, feel good about yourself, etc. and the classrooms were orderly with lots of artwork and projects displayed proudly on the walls.  I am most impressed with this school above all others in the district so far.

Hayden and his friend Zach went classroom to classroom to play all of the games and earned little prizes all of the way.  Hayden even played a word matching game that was set up for the kinders and actually got all of the letters correctly matched to spell the words.  The kindergarten teacher running the game was speechless that he figured it out and had him play again.  He got them all right the second time as well...Go Hayden!

Here's some cuteness from playing the games and of course the jumping castles.  He is now watching a movie with Matt with his huge bag of blue cotton candy that he will never actually eat.  Tomorrow is another attempt at a T-Ball video!
