The First Day of School

Today was the first day of school. Fourteen new smiles came through the door this morning. It was fun to see their reactions to being back in school. Some came in slowly, some practically bounded in the door. I love that back-to-school excitement. We had a busy day - summer pictures were drawn, books were read, first day photos were taken, and classroom routines were started. We also had fun doing a "getting to know you" scavenger hunt. The day ended with a few minutes of extra recess on the new playground equipment - a great ending to a really great day.
