Great First Day of Kindergarten

We had a very fun first day together. Along with many new stories and songs, the children began to practice classroom and school routines. We did many community building activities. One favorite activity was Tunnel Tag outside. Mrs. Burritt, the music teacher, came to the classroom for music class today. The kids were all so excited to play in the classroom at Choice Time in the four centers we opened today: blocks, doll house, drawing, and the game closet. I cannot wait to introduce more of our room to the tomorrow using a technique called Guided Discovery. Be sure to ask your child about the following: The Freeze Game, Months of the Year Line Dance, Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes, The Birthday Graph, Self Portraits using multicultural skin color crayons, lunch time, recess, and quiet time.
