First Day of School

We had a GREAT 1st day! We read several books...one of their favorites, Bono Goes to School...was about a monkey that had all sorts of problems at school, decided to make better choices and earned a star from the teacher at the end of the day. Look for your child's star...everyone earned it! We even read the 1st chapter of our teacher read aloud, The Trumpet of the Swan! We graphed our names according to how many letters were in them, shared what we did over the summer, drew our self-portraits and decorated our helper tags. All in all, the day was a big success...despite our power failure! The kids must be exhausted...
