1st Day of School

At 8:15am this morning our year officially began. Although there were some tears, most were excited and ready to start Kindergarten in Room 4.

Parents helped their students find name tags and take a seat on the rug. We started the day with Calendar then got our energy out by dancing to "The Freeze". Students passed around the Mystery Box and took guesses as to what is inside. Ideas included: toys, chocolate, pencils, scissors, and a puzzle. Then we read The Kissing Hand and students who sat quietly through the story (everyone) got a stamp of a heart on their hand to remind them of the story.

Children then created self portraits using crayons and wrote their names on these with a pencil. We took a short walk to the bathrooms, so students would know where they were (in case the need arose). At 9:30 we headed out to the Yard where we met back up with parents and enjoyed some popsicles courtesy of the PTA.
