We had a fantastic start to first grade! This week, we read "The Kissing Hand," discussing the excitement and nervousness of starting school. Students made their own "kissing hands" to remind us of our families’ love. We also enjoyed a visit from Pete the Cat, who left clues around the school. Although we never found him, he surprised us with a tasty treat! Further, we tackled our "first day jitters" with juice that helped us feel better. Remember to check your child's Star folder and planner daily for updates!
