HOT! HOT! HOT!
It was a steaming first day, but we did a great job beating the heat! What a super group!  I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know your kiddos a little bit better!  Tomorrow brings some more "getting to know you" activities, building reading STAMINA, and the introduction to our classroom "Bucket Filler" system.  Please look out for a note that is coming home tomorrow to explain this system!  I think your children are going to be excited about it!  I know I am! 
Lastly, thanks for having your children organized and ready to go this morning!  It was nice to see those sweaty smiles!
