It was so much fun meeting all my "new" kindergarten friends and seeing the BIG smiles and excitement that filled our classroom! I was amazed with how well they did following the "new" routines I was putting into place and how well they all sat and listened throughout our kindergarten day together! It was truly a wonderful day in K-1! I was amazed with how well they did with a full first day! We did calendar, learned about the daily routine, talked about some school rules, read a few fun read alouds, did a "How to use a crayon" lesson, played a Get To Know You game to learn each others' names and we also had a long indoor recess so they could get to know each other. We also had our first gym class with Mr. Post and music with Mr. Szuwald. My kinders LOVED that! They had such a fun day! At the end of our day, I had many friends come up to me and say, "This is the best day ever! It was AWESOME!" which melted my heart! I kept telling them that after today, it only gets better each and every day! Here are some pictures I took today of the class so you could see who your child's classmates are. I can't wait for Day 2 tomorrow!
