The First Week of School

What an exciting week! We've learned our three classroom rules: 1. listen to and follow directions, 2. be kind and keep your hands to yourself, and 3. keep trying and do your best. We also decorated the letters for our cubbies, made ribbon twirlers, read a pile of books, and played all sorts of games. It was lots of fun. Some of the younger set was feeling a bit overwhelmed by the third day of school and some tears were shed. :( Luckily the weekend break was enough to refresh some drooping spirits and the new-found familiarity with our daily routines and structures is making life easier and more predictable. My only regret from the first week of school is that I only managed to get pictures of the older class on the first day of school.Phooey! I'm glad the parents managed to get some shots in during the hectic first minutes of school. :)
