At school, we worked on rhyming. I was given a set of pictures and glued them down based on their sound.
(Warning: there is a drawing of a snake!)
We also did some experiments with apples. (There are TONS of apples growing on the trees in our school garden.) I made sure to add a drawing of a roller coaster on this one.
For the first two weeks of school, the kindergarten classes had recess in the preschool playground.
Tomorrow, we start playing in the big playground. So I asked Mommy if we could have a practice session today. I love the big playground!
Today was my first day of kindergarten!
I was a little bit nervous, but I had studied my school map, learned my class schedule, rehearsed my morning routine, and practiced opening and closing my lunchbox. By this morning, I was ready and excited!
We start every day in the school gym for “Morning Meeting.” (The lady next to me in the pink sweater is my teacher, Mrs. Flagg.)
After our meeting, Mrs. Flagg walked us to our classroom.
This is when we took our lunch boxes out of our bags, right before Mommy and Daddy said goodbye.
And this is me, super tired and carrying a really heavy backpack, when Mommy picked me up. But I had a great time! Kindergarten is way more fun than preschool!
Today was the Cedaroak Park Primary School open house. We all got to meet our teachers and drop off our school supplies.
They sent me a map in the mail and I studied it thoroughly, using it to walk all around school.
This is the library.
And this is my classroom. I am sharing a table with Maddie, Alex, Andrew, and Milo!
Today, I found out that I will be in Mrs. Flagg’s kindergarten class! My first day is on Tuesday, Aug. 27th.
She sent me my first piece of homework, which I will give her on Thursday during the Kindergarten Open House.
I just finished a program called “Jump Start” at school. It was a little preview of what is to come in a couple of weeks. Annabel was there! So was Miss Ann, one of my old preschool teachers!
This is the art I made. Let the school art begin!
My new school principal, Mrs. Leonard, invited us to a popsicle night at the playground. I met two boys – Raleigh and Cameron – who will be going to kindergarten in the fall, too.
The playground is really big and kind of scary, but I was able to manage this climbing thing all by myself!
I also liked this tetherball pole.
After about an hour, though, I was ready to run home and go to bed!
I visited the playground of my future school to see what it was all about.
They have a tetherball pole…
…a GaGa Ball pit…
…and a big ol’ play structure.
I was really interested in this tree because Minecraft got me into trees!
One thing I learned is that the fir cones make my hands very sticky!
Also, there were a million bees.
I went to a kindergarten open house to learn all about kindergarten next year.
I visited one of the kindergarten classrooms with a bunch of other kids, but my favorite place is the gym!
Cedaroak Park Primary is in the middle of their on-going morning talent show, so there was a piano and microphone I liked playing with.
I visited Cedaroak Primary School last night because they were having a Family Fun Night and I might go there next year for kindergarten!
First, I found the gym and decided to play my favorite Mommies game, Goat Milk.
My friend, Annabel, is also starting kindergarten next year. I hung out with her older brother, Oliver, on and in these cool tunnels.
This hallway is called Squirrel Street!
The night was specially organized for kids with special needs, but we were still surprised to see food blends and syringes on the snack table. I guess they’re ready for me!
