First Day of First Grade

I have never taught first grade- and no one ever told me what I was missing...First Grade Rocks! Well, at least the first day does...we'll see what I say in a month.

But anyways, there were no crying kids- I didn't have to peel one student out of their parents arms- I didn't have to reassure parents that their child would not cry all day...(if they do I will call you if they are still crying in an hour,) and I didn't have any parents hanging out peeking in the window. The kids came in and got to work...and were as cute as could be. Most of the students I had last year so they were all hugs and smiles. And at the end of the day I swam 3/4ths a mile and ran a mile...instead of taking a post Kindergarten nap!

New Zealand? Well I will get to the photos someday...and I have run out of photo space again...so it's new blog time. But I did bring kiwis to eat for snack today.

Sounds like you had a great day! Hope the second day is just as good. :)

Oh good! I'm so glad it was a great day. I couldn't do it (or K for that matter), but I'm sure having them be that much more mature was a lot of fun.

Sounds like first grade is a winner!!!! Glad all is well.
And yeah. where are the photos?? I can't believe you ran out of room so fast. I finally out of space last year and bought more for 5$. It appears that will get me several more years.

Sounds great M. I am sure the parents were also at ease since you knew most of their babies from last year in kindergarten. This always helps.

Oh and by the way, my mother was 1 of those peeking parents who looked through the window when I STARTED first grade.

: )
Plus, I need to mention 10 years later, she became a teacher herself for mostly second and third graders (She taught first grade for 3 years but she prefers 8 and 9 year olds).

Such a cute age. Glad you're loving it so far.
