The First Day!

Wow!! The first day has come and gone! What fun we had!! I am so thrilled to be a part of your child's Kindergarten year! We started the day by feeding our brains breakfast. I could not believe how eager the kiddos were to be in Kindergarten and even more so how quietly they worked. After Brain Breakfast, we prepared our bodies for a busy day by stretching and moving at the start of Morning Meeting. This class likes to sing and move! We used our morning message to go on a letter hunt. The students were eager to find familiar letters throughout the message.

After focusing on the calendar and days of the weeks, a friendly bunny left clues throughout the school and we were able to participate in a "getting to know the building" scavenger hunt. We even found clues on the playground and in the prairie. Mother Nature cooperated and gave us a chance to run and play with the Conejitos, our other Kindergarten friends, at Morning Recess. We also had the chance to eat lunch and play outside with our older friends. It was so fun to see and meet so many new faces.

In the afternoon, we rested. During Rest Time, it was such a sweet experience sharing your letter with your child. Their smiles as a result were priceless. Thank you for that special moment. Our final activity of the day was to draw a self-portrait. It was amazing to watch them to complete this job with such care. Kindergarteners were asking their table mates to help them determine their eye color, asking about stripes in their shirts, and trying to find the perfect match for their hair color. This is an amazing group, and I am so excited for the year ahead. It will surely be a great time with amazing growth all around. Thank you for allowing me to share this journey with you. See you tomorrow! I can't wait!
