First Day of Kindergarten 2013

The First Day of Kindergarten in K29 was a huge success!  The first thing the kids see when they enter the classroom is this table full of presents!  I buy 25 identical presents from the 99 cent store and wrap them up.  Some years it's a coloring book, sometime a puzzle, whatever the 99 cent store has 25 of...  Then I wrap up a bunch of classroom stuff for the kids to open like new!  The ipad boxes, the markers, the games...

Then we do our first ABC grid, most kids do not finish and that is just fine.  I just want to take a look at their letter strokes, pencil grip and stamina.

Then we draw a self portrait.

Tomorrow we will do our name mosaics!
