First day of school! First day of school!






Olivia went to Kindergarten today. She was so excited. We picked out her clothes and got her backpack ready the night before. This morning she was ready to go and kept wondering when we were going to be leaving. She didn't want to be late. Then she didn't understand that when we got to school that her teacher wasn't there yet. We got there early and she had to wait in my room until it was time to take her down to line up with the other students. Another teacher watched my class while I made sure she got to hers ok. There were so many parents there with cameras. I got a picture with the teacher only because I work at the school and went in early to get one.
Olivia said she had a great day. She said she met a few new friends but couldn't remember their names. They colored and played outside and read a book about something eating the teacher. I couldn't figure out what book the teacher read to her but Olivia said it was really funny. She can't wait to go back tomorrow. It was fun having her at school today.

was the book: "don't eat the teacher" by nick ward? - about a shark who is very excited on the first day of school and almost eats the teacher?
