The First Day of First Grade

We can't believe the first day of school is tomorrow! We are so excited to meet our new students and their families!

Here are some things to expect tomorrow morning...
1) We will meet you in the yard around 8:15 (we will leave the yard around 8:30).  We will be holding a big sign that reads "Stefanie and Kristin's class" and a sign-in sheet.  As soon as you see us, come right over!

2) We encourage you to say good-bye to your child in the recess yard.  If a child is extremely distressed or upset, we may suggest you walk upstairs.  Usually, good-byes are best when loving and brief, especially when little ones (and us adults!) are feeling anxious and nervous.

3) As for supplies - we should be able to carry most supplies up ourselves.  If we have lots of bags, we might recruit 1 or 2 adults to help us.

4) Dismissal will be in the schoolyard at 2:50 pm.  Please try your best to be on time everyday; we will, too!  Each first grader is to shake Stefanie and/or Kristin's hand before leaving.  Please remind your child to do so before you exit the yard.

Here's to a great first day of first grade :)
