First Day of Kindergarten

Wow!  What a fabulous first day of Kindergarten!  Our friends were so happy when they came into Rainbow Valley this morning.  We were very busy.  The Art teacher came in with Mrs. Ward, we heard a story and started our art project.  Ms. Booth came in and read the Kissing Hand, and we each received a special hand with a heart in the middle.   We then had time to draw a picture in our new writing journal about the best part of our day:) 

It was a busy day and a fun day as well.  We hope everyone went home wearing a smile and look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow morning. 

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful children with us.  What a wonderful year it is going to be!

*Parents:  School information folders went home today, please fill out the necessary paperwork and return to school.  If you have not sent in all school supplies please send them in as well.
