First day of school full report

 Today Danny began an exciting new adventure, second grade!! With a backpack full of school supplies, lunch box, and mask, we set off for the first day!

When I picked him up this afternoon, he was so excited and had a wonderful first day:

His day involved:

Welcome and greetings from the school principal

The the kids in his class introduced themselves followed by reciting the pledge of allegiance.

His teacher read the First day, hooray!

Then to prepare for recess, the kids watched a recess video that went over the rules of the playground

Ms. Winters showed the kids how to use the playground equipment safely

"Ladders are up only and stairs are up only

Climbing structures are up only

Slides are the way down"

Recess he discovered the game of tetherball and enjoyed playing with a new friend

Then it was lunch time and he ate most of his lunch.

Then they returned to the classroom and did a drill for the lining up in order.

Then the kids had another recess

He had a great time and he and his friend strayed a little too far on the grass area playing tag and managed to get lost! Fortunately they found another aide and who was able to guide them back to class. 

Danny was thoroughly impressed when his teacher announced the question:

"The next big question I always get is, when do we go home?"

She then put the demonstration clock, set the time when they would be dismissed so the kids would know when it would be time to go home.

That afternoon the kids had a writing assignment, "what did you do to get ready for school?"

Danny answered: "I ate breakfast, I grabbed my pencil holder, put everything in my backpack, and walked out the door"

 

Then it was time to line up to go home!

Many more adventures to follow, but I wanted to capture this day as it is the first day of what feels like something normal.
