We had a fantastic first day together. We read the Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn. It is a story about a little raccoon named Chester who was anxious about leaving home and going to school. So his mother decided to share a "family secret" with him- the "kissing hand". She gave him a kiss on his paw and told him to press the kiss to his cheek whenever he missed her.
We sang many songs and played outside on the big playground too. As we try to play outside everyday please remember to put sun block on your child prior to coming to school.
We will be getting to know each other and exploring our new classroom. Today and next week we will focus on learning the new routine of the classroom and learning more about each other.
Please remember to send in a daily snack and drink as well as an extra set of clothes (to be kept all year) to school with your child.
