First Day of School!

Today was our first day of school. We were all very excited (did I mention that the Mommy was very excited?).

Mikaela was the first one to be dropped off. We walked her into her classroom, found her name on her table, and got her started on her seat work. Classwork the first day? Kindergarten is serious business!

Xander and I went to his class next. We paused briefly at the doorway. Uh oh thought the mommy. He looked up and said "Mommy can you ask Ms.Ginger something?" Mommy said sure (even though Ms.Ginger was standing right there). He said "Ask Ms.Ginger if we are going outside." So, the mommy asked. Ms.Ginger assured him come rain or shine, they were going outside! It might be sidewalk chalk under the awning at carpool or the playground.

Xander walked right into class - what a big boy!

Each child in kindergarten was given a wallet today. If they stay on green (make good choices and behave), then they earn a penny! On Friday if they have been good every day, they get two pennies. They can either save their pennies and trade for a nickel, or spend them at the money store. She was very excited that she earned a penny at school today!

In the 3 year old class, they must stay on green to earn a sticker. 3 stickers buys you a trip to the treasure box. A sticker was earned by all today (though Ms.Ginger said that tomorrow she would be "cracking down!")

All in all, a great first day!
