1st day of School

Today marked the first day of Kindergarten for Tyler and the first day of 2nd grade for Cody.  

Walking up the ramp to school...

Cody is starting the Rapid Learner program at school this year.  I'm a little nervous but so happy he is in the program.  He's excited because his best buddy is in class with him again.

Getting ready to leave...

 Where he'll be learning all kinds of new things!

 In line with his best buddy Ethan...

 Off they go! 

 He's right in the middle of the room...

 Cody reported back that he had a good day.  They started with a get to know you game and as well as learning things about their teacher.  They listened to a couple of stories, then took a tour of the school to show all the new kids around (only about 8 kids in the class went to Pershing last year).  Then it was recess.  He did other things but couldn't remember what.  Then it was lunch time.  Lunch is the same time as last year and they also go out with the 1st and 2nd grade classes.  After lunch the were handed out a planner and went through it a bit and their Pershing folders were handed out.  At some point during the day they learned that they have computer lab, library time, PE and Art throughout the week.  Then it was time to go home.

 Lined up and ready to go in...

 Off they go...

Ty reported back that he had a good day.  They started the day on the carpet and then went to their desks.  At some point they worked on some sorting, by color and then by object.  They also did a sheet on the letter "A."  He had snack/recess and decided tomorrow he needs to eat faster so he has more time to play.  They were told they get to go to the computer lab and library, but couldn't remember when.  He liked his teacher and saw friends from soccer.  Successful day on the books!
