First Day Was Fantastic!

We had a fabulous first day of school today! There were lots of smiles, some nervousness, and a few tears at the start, but we got throught the day and had fun. We hope each of you got to celebrate this beautiful milestone in your child's life.

Today we focused on learning some of the rules and routines for school, such as how to line up and walk in the hallway, cafeteria protocol and schedules. We sang the Good Morning Song, Barnacle Bill, I'm Going To School Today, and the Rules Rap. We also toured the classroom, and the students had the opportunity to try out the Art Center. Ask your child what their favorite part of school was, as well as their favorite song we sang today.

Each child received a blue folder today. This will be our communication folder for the year. Please be sure to check and empty the folder each evening, and have your child return it every morning.

One other folder was sent home today as well which contained a variety of information forms. Please take the time to fill them all out accurately and return them by next week. These forms give us valuable information about your child.

That's all for now, but stay tuned for more!
