Janie is officially a kindergartener!! Her first day at Amelia Earhart School was today and it was went well!
Mama and Dada took the day off and we walked along the lagoon to get to school.
Here she is in front of the Amelia Earhart statue.
We arrived at the playground and she hung up her backpack.
There were only a few minutes to play on the playground and there were SO MANY people there in one place. At 8:20am, her teacher came out to greet everyone and they all went inside Room 14.
Parents were invited to spend the first hour in class so we got to see all 24 kids sitting on the rug together for their instructions. Their names were called one at a time to go find their desks.
Janie’s seat was right next to her pal Gavin! There were 4 projects to complete: a name tag with beads, a racoon mask, rainbow name, and two coloring pages.
She completed all the activities pretty much on her own and loved using the new school supplies that she got in the pencil box on her desk. The PTA supplied new crayons, a pair of scissors, a glue stick, pencil, and the pencil box.
What a great first day in Ms. Kuoch’s class! She also spent the afternoon in AIK (Alameda Island Kids) afterschool program. Luckily Gavin is also going there so the transition was super easy.
She came home with her projects including a lesson on the solar eclipse that occurred today. She also got special glasses to view the eclipse outside.
