It is a day the whole Elementary School looks forward too. The day the REALLY little kids come to school for Kindergarten Round-Up. Their eyes are filled with a little bit of fear - the fear of the unknown and excitement - it is finally their turn to go to school. Today we welcomed a new group of little kiddos to the world of PAW Power. Our group was a little small as everyone was not able to join us today. We had not a single tear or a frantic look for a parent but only enthusiastic children eager to begin a wonderful adventure. The boys and girls spent sometime getting used to their soon to be new surroundings. We read a story, did a mimio activity, painted, played with magnets and drew faces on our teddy bears. After about an hour, the little kiddos went to the library to play a few more games while I had the opportunity to visit with the parents. I am almost certain they very quickly went into information overload as I introduced them to the new world of Kindergarten. As our morning came to an end, parent and child were brought back together as they joined us for a very yummy lunch.
This was such a special day for child, for parents, and for this teacher as we all get ready to let go and watch our kiddos climb to the next branch of the beanstalk.
