These pictures were in our local paper today, illustrating an article on volunteerism. The two little girls pictured are in my kindergarten class. I was so excited!

Back to School Night

My first bulletin board.


Favorite of the day: The children were making self portraits and were supposed to color their paper doll with the clothes they were wearing today. I had to tell one little girl that she should just color the shirt, NOT what was *uh hum* under the shirt.

First Day As A Real Live Kindergarten Teacher

I texted to my family during first recess "I love them already....even the naughties :)"

Favorite of the Day
Me: "Jimmy (not his real name, and prone to physical "incidents") did you hit Johnny?" (also, not his real name)
Jimmy: "Yes, but it was a soft punch."

I can not figure out how to get the sound right on the previous clip. It's ok on my computer, but whenever I upload it the sound gets messed up. Any suggestions? Trust me, it is adorable! Here is another rendition, so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about.
