Our First Day

Our first day went pretty well! :)

We are learning a lot about how school works: taking turns, raising our hands, taking turns using the bathroom, where we play outside, etc...

Lunchtime was difficult today. Students have recess first and then a coach brings them inside for lunch. They have to remember their lunchboxes. Those who are getting trays have to learn how to get their food, hold their trays, tell the cashier his/her name, hold the tray while finding a place to sit at our table...Our class takes up almost the whole side of a table so we don't really have room for parents to sit, unfortunately. Parents are still welcome to come. They probably just need to stand by their child. Then we have to get up as a class, walk in a line, and throw away our trash! Whew!

We did have time for several stories, a lot of songs, a little bit of writing, and some play time at centers. We had a a great first day. Each day will improve as we get used to our new school routines. :)

In case you're wondering, we're going to start homework in September. Look for a note about that soon.

Great job, Dinosaurs!
