I Survived the First Day of Kindergarten...

It was CRAZY!

Why do I always forget that they don't know how to do anything? We have to teach them how to line up, walk in the hall, hold a pencil, use scissors, sit on the carpet and listen to a story, wash their hands...

I see the first graders walking through the hall, and I want to tell their teachers...

"You're welcome!"

I'm exhausted. But it will be worth it in the end. And they are pretty cute.

So Today...Rinse and Repeat.

But before I go, here are just a few pics from my first day...

No David Puppets...a classic...

Our First Day of School Self-Portarits...

Lots of empty shelves...I don't put out anything until they've learned the expectations for using it...

Poor kiddos don't even get books, yet...

And they only have crayons and scissors in their buckets, because we had lessons on them...

A couple of anchor charts I have ready for today...

This is for the book Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns to Listen. I'm going to mark a tally everytime they interrupt or blurt out and we're going to see if we can get better as the week progresses...

If I make it through the day, I'll post some more pictures and incoherent ramblings tonight! I hope your first days of Kindergarten are going well!
