Our first full day of kindergarten!

Much of our instruction included learning about how to walk in the hall, wash hands, use the bathroom, eat snack, safety on the playground, routines in the lunchroom etc. It may not be the most exciting learning, but it is essential. The children were were patient and very good listeners! Below are a few photos from the day!

We read and discussed

 The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn.

Group work.

We learned that many were feeling more than one
emotion on the first day of kindergarten!

We learned what snack is like in our classroom.

Making an ink handprint to go with
our first day of school poem. 

We learned about recess
and had two outdoor times.
We had lunch in the cafeteria
after the second recess.

Picking a heart sticker for the print
& fancying up the poem.
These poem papers came home via
your child's home/school folder.

Choice time: a creative easel design.

The bus ride home after a long first day!
Phew! We made it!
