August 22, 2011 - The First Day of School

   

    I had a good first day of school!   The day went by very quickly!   If I couldn't come to school last Thursday evening, Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Daugherty helped me put my school supplies in the right places, and they told me where I would be sitting for the first nine weeks of school.  Please ask me to tell you my table number.   We talked about the rules we have in our class that help things run smoothly for everyone.  These rules are written on the next page, and the teachers would like you to read them over with me.

    Today we attended a Welcome to School assembly in the big gym, worked in our room, went outside for recesses, and ate lunch. We learned a couple of action fingerplays and listened to some stories about the first day of school.  We wrote our names on a paper for our teachers to save until the end of kindergarten so we can see our improvement.   Here is how I wrote my name.

    Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Daugherty have several more important things to tell you about my kindergarten class.  They want you to watch for the notes I'll be bringing home during the school year.  They also say to feel free to send a note or call if you have any questions or concerns.
    Please make sure that you fill out the volunteer form and the emergency number form if you haven’t already.  This information is very important to my teachers!  Remember, there are many times throughout the year that they can use extra help in the classroom.

      It is also very important to send a note if I am to leave school with someone different, or if I am to go somewhere other than where I normally go.
   
    I think kindergarten will be a fun place to learn!
I bet you can't believe I 'm really old enough to be in school now!
