First Day Fun!

What a sweet group of children!  Despite the oppressive heat we had a marvelous first day together.  Between play times with table toys, on the playground and in indoor free choice centers, we learned some names, some rules and some routines.

We began our day with "Rapp Song" by Red Grammer.  He is a wonderful singer/songwriter for children and has long been one of my very favorites.  You can check his songs out on itunes

We also read a book that teaches how to say hello in many different languages, "Hello World".  The kids got a kick out of hearing them all!

We ended the day by drawing self portraits in the style of the illustrations from the story.

I will leave you with the beautiful hand-heart quilt you helped to create yesterday.  It was a pleasure to meet you all and it is an honor to have the opportunity to teach your children this year. Look  forward to seeing you again at our open house on Thursday September 24th at 6:30
