The First Day of First Grade


Wow, what a great day! I had the privilege of welcoming 24 smiling faces this morning. We read my Favorite book from my childhood, Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak. The children then wrote about their impressions of the book. The children were able to go to a concert, great music and little bit of dancing ensued. Thanks Mrs. Phillips for the awesome concert. After lunch we went out to the playground, always fun. We took a tour of the school, so that everyone knows their way around and knew where to go for dismissal. The children also received a gift from the PTA. Each child received a new T-shirt, designed by our very own Mrs. Willet. What a terrific first day. I look forward to really diving into Readers' and Writer's Workshops, as well as Math Investigations and Science experiments. It is sure to be a year filled with learning and fun. Here's to great beginnings.
