Hi Parents!

It was a GREAT first day of school! This is our first of many daily emails!

At the end of the day we had a closing meeting. I had the kids tell me (in their own words) what we did today. Here is what they said…

We sat in our chairs and colored. (Will C.) This 1st day of school coloring is in the Take Home Folder.

We went to music class. We did music sticks. (Kennedy and Will M.)

We played on the playground for a long time. (Caroline and Abby)

We ate snack. (Adalynn)

We made headbands. It says I Rocked The 1st Day of Kindergarten. (James)

We played with play-doh. (Evalynn)

We read some books. The 2nd book we read was about how we get to school. (Rylan) We also did a sorting/graphing activity on the Smartboard where each kid got to share how they were getting home.  We were able to see which group had the most!

We played with toys. (Alice)

We also read Look Out Kindergarten Here I Come and Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten. We did a lot of practicing of classroom and playground expectations. Ask your child tonight about how we sit on the carpet, line up, walk in the hallway, etc.

The red Take Home Folder is coming home today! Please look this over tonight! Their first homework project (Me Bag) is on the “Return to School” side of the folder. Please let me know if you have any questions about this project! Return this folder in the backpack tomorrow and every school day.

I put lots of pictures on Class Dojo today! Make sure you check it out!

It was a busy day at school so they will probably be very tired tonight! I recommend an early bedtime (especially these first couple weeks)!

Thank you SO much for all the classroom donations of items! I really appreciate it! Thanks for helping our classroom ROCK!

Have a wonderful night!!
