1st day of Kindergarten… well sort of
Posted on 20 August 2010
Today Madison and Allie were up at 6:30 am all ready to send Madison off to her first day of school!
Actually it was a 2.5 hour 1st day of school. The new school that both girls will be starting on Monday has an introductory day for the new kindergarteners and parents. This day happens before the 1st day of school and allows the kids to come in and spend some time with their teacher and lets the parents tour the school and meet the people who will be taking care of their children. It also goes through the process of loading and unloading the buses and car riders.
Madison was so excited. For her 2.5 hours she spent the time making a stop light which will be used for behavior purposes. She told me she always wants to stay on the green so at the end of the week she can get something out of the treasure box. She does not want to go to the red light! She told me she was able to play outside and that she met two girls whose name she had no clue 
She also said she did not like the chairs because they made her butt hurt. We will see how that progresses.
While she was enjoying her day Jason and I were touring the school. We met the librarian, nurse, cafeteria lady, office ladies, counselor, art teacher, PTO president, PE teacher, and the music teachers. They all spoke briefly about what they do and how much they enjoy doing it. The music teacher had us stand up and participate by dancing the chicken dance and the PE teacher had us balancing plush frogs on our heads as well as having us stand still while throwing them up in the air and clapping before catching the frogs. I will note here that it has been a while since I have been in a PE class
It was a good day and I learned a little about the school. I am hoping that both Allie and Madison have a great year this year. Madison will just be starting out and Allie is having to “start over” in a sense.
Heres to a great first 1/2 day of kindergarten today and a full day on Monday!
