What a fabulous first week of school!!!! My family was up very early Monday, August 8, ready for school! It was also Case's 3rd birthday! Kennedy started 3rd grade!
And I greeted 20 new 1st graders!!! I can tell we are going to have a remarkable year!
At the end of the first day of school, each student was given 'magic' play-doh. It helps predict whether or not we will have a good school year. When they first receive the play-doh, it has no color, but as they play with it, it turns color if the school year will be great! I am happy to report that everyone's play-doh turned a color, and it was an even darker color the next morning. We will keep this play-doh in our desks until around holiday break. We can flatten it and write words in it, shape it into letters, exercise our hands with it, and so much more.
I'm already looking forward to all of next week's fun. We will read many Kevin Henkes books which will be followed by lots of fun activities! Also, Thursday is Picture Day, so plan out your child's wardrobe accordingly. These are yearbook pictures and field trip name tag pictures!!!
