Yesterday was a fabulous FIRST day of FIRST grade! :) It was fun getting to know everyone. The children explored their classroom and filled their desk with supplies for the FIRST time! It is a big deal moving up from kindgarten because the students have their own desk and cubby to take care of!
After going over a few housekeeping items, we did a few activities and finished our day reading The Kissing Hand (by Audrey Penn). Together we talked about our fears and excitement for a new school year! Then we made our own kissing hand to share our feelings with each other and the rest of the school.
The worksheet says "On the first day of first grade _______ felt ______." The children traced their hand and drew a heart in the center! Very simple and quick activity to help us talk about our first day jitters. I color copied a few of my favorite pages from the book to display in hall!
