Meet Our Class!











First Day of School!

 WOW! What a great first day of school. The day flew by so fast, but we had so much fun!

This morning we read a story called David Goes to School by David Shannon. This book helped us learn the rules at school We talked a lot about how to NOT act like David. While I was reading the story to the class a note fell out of the book. Oh my gosh! It was a note from Mrs. Gray our principal letting us know that David was on the loose at school and she asked us to find him. We went searching all over campus for David. We went to the media center, the playground, the office and then finally found him in the cafeteria. On our way we talked about all the rules at school. We had so much fun looking for David. Ask your little one a rule that they learned today and leave a comment. Enjoy the pictures!!
