Hi Parents!

At the end of the day, we held a closing meeting to reflect on our school day!
Here is what we did today (in the words of the kids)!

We played with toys. (Jesse)

We went to music. (Sarah)

We read books. (Presley)

We read a book about how a girl went to school. She came to school in funny ways. (George) This book is called How Will I Get to School This Year? The kids did a Smartboard sort for how they were getting home today. We counted the number in each group.

We read Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten. (Evie)

We ate lunch. (Caleb and Lux)

We builded. (Phoebe)

We went outside 2 times. (Logan, Zellie, Sophie, and George)

We made hats. (Jackson and Jesse) We made “I Rocked the First Day of Kindergarten” hats! Pictures are on Class Dojo!

We made books. (Cora)

We had a great first day! We practiced lots of class routines and procedures. We learned about the classroom rules, line order, and how to earn points on Class Dojo! I have posted pictures for everyone to enjoy!

In the folder today you will find your child’s first homework assignment! This is our Me Bag project! Each child will have their own special day. Some kids start this week so please make sure and check the schedule!

If your child is Parent Pick Up, there is a blue sign of your last name in your child’s folder. Please hang this is our passenger car window when you are in the PPU line to help speed up the pick up process.

Please make sure your child returns their blue take home folder every day to school.
