Our First Day in Kindergarten!

What a great way to start the school year!  The children had a wonderful day.  They were so excited to unpack all of their supplies and get their materials organized.  We played a getting to know you game, and we read a sweet story called The Kissing Hand.  It was about a little raccoon named Chester who was nervous about going to school until his mother shares a family secret called "The Kissing Hand."  By placing a kiss in the palm of Chester's hand, she tells him that he will always have his mother in his heart no matter where he goes.  The children loved the story, and they loved the scavenger hunt Chester sent us on throughout the school.  Chester left hearts for us to find, and along the way we met many new and friendly faces!  I cannot wait for another great day tomorrow!
