Andy's First day of KINDERGARTEN!!

Andy was pretty excited to move from the small preschool to the "BIG SCHOOL!" All he wanted was to go to the BIG school with Lyllee so he could play on the playground.
We found Andy's classroom and his new teacher, Mrs. Hiatt. She is really nice and sweet to the kids. The first thing that she had the kids do was sit on the rug by the keva. She read them a story about a boy and his first day of Kindergarten. 
Then, we broke into groups at the different tables.
 Mom's and dad's received papers that talked about the classroom rules and policies, permission slips and homework that the kids would bring home each week. 
 Then, we decorated folders to use in the classroom.
At a different table we put together a homework folder.
 We worked on our fine motor skills too!

 The last thing we did was a scavenger hunt to find different places in the school. 
We found the office, library, restrooms, the cafeteria..
and the stage!
 The last place we found was the PLAYGROUND!!! Andy was in heaven!

Lyllee's first day of FIRST GRADE!!


My favorite things about being a FIRST GRADER are:


  • I can put up my chair on top of my desk.
  • We get to go on field trips.
  • We get to have THREE recesses instead of only one.
  • I get to eat lunch at school everyday!
  • I get to check books out at the library.
  • I have more friends than I had in Kindergarten. :)
  • I'm learning about space too!
