The kids have their first hour of school!

It was a great start for all! I should have a lovely picture to go with this, but blogger seems to have trouble posting photos this evening. Regardless, it was a busy hour for both classes today getting to know the classroom, new friends, and me. Ah, but that's not all. Everyone had a chance to meet Michelle. We are very fortunate to have Michelle hired as our full time support staff member in both classes. She has genuine smile and the children warmed up to her easily and quickly.

Tomorrow is a regular day. Michelle and I will take the morning class out early to avoid having recess with the rest of the school tomorrow. The afternoon class will always have recess to themselves. In the morning, the kids will come and meet me on the carpet when they arrive again. However, BOOK TIME will start soon. This means bins of books will be on their desks. We welcome individual book "reading" or time reading a book with family members for the first ten or fifteen minutes. I'll explain it to the children on Tuesday and then try to start their day that way on Wednesday or Thursday.
I'm sure all the children are in bed as I write this. I, too, must do that now.
See you tomorrow,
Love Mrs. App
