1st Day of School

We had a great first day of school. We had center time(play time) in our room right away. We went to phy. Ed. and met Mrs. Lingo. We ran around the gym. We had lots of fun. We had library with Mrs. Hasti. Each student picked out one book to take home. You may keep the books for one week. We will have library next Tuesday. At morning meeting we did our Hello Song, our morning message, a name song (If your name is Mrs. Milow won't you pop right up), and our Happy Dance. Mrs. Milow did Surprise Suitcase. The students guessed that it was a ball-our sharing ball. Evan got to take the Surprise Suitcase home to put something inside.

We read the story Miss Bindergarten Gets REady for Kindergarten. We shared what we did to get ready for kindergarten. Each student drew a picture of what she/he did to get ready for kindergarten. We are going to add the words and a photo and make it into a class book.

We had lunch and indoor recess. During quiet time we listened to Roaring Rockets and I read The Night Before Kindergarten.

During math, we did calendar and explored with math manipulatives.

**The bus tag note was sent home today. Please make it tonight if you have not made one already. This will help me get all of the kids to the right place at the end of the day.

School picture order forms went home today. Our pictures are Thursday, September 25.

Mrs. Milow,

Thank you for making the first day of Kindergarten for all the kids so very special. My son came home with smiles and excitement about school and all he has to look forward to this year.

Thank you!
