First Day of School

I was excited and ready to go early this morning. So off I went to school with my lunch all packed and all excited and a little bit wary of the unknown. I figure today was very important because it will determine how the year goes. I started the day with 20 and had 22 by lunchtime. Two people were absent today. We had a very busy morning. I got transportation bracelets on everyone while we figured out what their favorite color and food is. We spent time on a morning message and the calendar. We toured the school, sang some songs, went to the cafeteria for rules, read some books, explained stations, colored, cut, and glued Chester from The Kissing Hand, and played. That was just before lunch! Things went pretty smooth, I am pleased. They fell apart a bit after lunch. I think it was a long day for them. We rested, went back to stations, colored a Good First Day certificate, went to recess, went to music, and then went home. I know I am tired! It was a good day.
