Fabulous First Day in First Grade

The first day of first grade is always cause for celebration, but this year it was especially enjoyable to watch this wonderful class come in and take ownership of their classroom.  Today we wrote classroom rules, talked about what great students do, and talked about my job as their teacher.  One thing is clear…these students are well prepared for a great year.  Hats off to you as parents.  It is a hard transition to first grade and you may hear your first grader saying that it is hard and the day is long.  They are right!  All of that in consideration, we have had some great times already; times with them giggling, writing, reading, and thinking.  All of these make me a happy first grade teacher.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a wonderful start.
