1st day of School

What a great 1st day of school
The children had so much fun!!!
It was so good to be together!!!!



Ok... I Apologize now.....
My pictures uploaded completely out of order!!!

I'm so bummed because I really like for you to see the flow of the day
But I will add captions to at least let you know what
we were doing in each photo


                       This is center time. Caroline and Matthew playing together



                        Snack was SO wonderful!!  We loved eating outside!!
                          Claire choosing the book center. She really enjoyed 

                          this center today

                             1 st day of school pictures!

                            I took a picture of everyone with and without the !st day frame.

                           I like to use the children's pictures throughout the room and for

                            their nametags to be used with the HELPER chart

                                                Morning work time:

After the kids hung up their back packs, put their folders, water bottles and snack

in their cubbies, they washed their hands. After that they could choose an activity at

one of the open tables. Will choose to color first!
                                                           Outside Time

                Tristan was excited to show me how he could stand on the tree stump

                                            Tristan posing for his picture
We are preparing the helper/job chart..... I had several children today do a job

and I took their picture completing the job. I will then use that picture on the job chart.

Each Child will have their picture on one job, but they may choose any job that they wish 

when they come in each morning. Job Chart will be ready by Monday morning!
                                                      Outside Time

                          SNACK
Center Time

                      Dramatic play was also a very popular area for center time

The children are getting their name tags to use during center time.

We walked around the room today and talked about each center. I showed the children that each center had a certain number of friends that can work in one area at one time.  

If there is an open spot, then they may put their name tag on it and play in the center.

If that center is full, then they need to choose a new area.  Doing center time like this helps the children learn about problem solving and learning to make choices


                     Exercise time... our exercise leader today choose... running in place
                             Tristan was our gate keeper today
I would say this is a PRETTY GOOD line..... for the 1st day!!!   Good JOB!!!
