William's first day of kindergarten

Chapter 1
My first day of kindergarten was fun! I learned my numbers, which I already know. And I learned my alphabet, which I already know. AND I played a game, a ball game where you roll the ball to someone and they say their name. That game is called "Name Ball." The End.

Chapter 2
I had chapel at my school - part school and part church! We learned that Jesus is our friend. We sang songs at chapel. And everybody who had a birthday on August got to stand up in a line in front of the group and get a pencil. The End.

Chapter 3
At chapel we said one Prayer. The End.

Chapter 4
After chapel we goed back to my school room and then we goed back out of my school room and we goed outside and played on the playground but first we had to wait behind the red line which was the safety line and we waited for cars to pass and we saw there was no cars. We crossed to the door of the gate to the playground and we played, played, played! The End.

I wanted to thank Grandma Barb for coming over early to be with our sick little Ellie while I took William to his first day school. And I also thank Grandma Lanz for watching William on Monday so Ellie and I could spend some quality time at the doctor's office. William really enjoyed his last day of summer vacation playing at the splash pad and watching Michael's rocket launch! We've had quite the week so far! Today was a very exciting, happy day! I know William is going to love kindergarten. I was a little teary driving home, mostly because I was thinking of all my kindergarten years past and knowing how many great things are in store for him this year (and maybe there was a little lack of sleep involved, too). With a teacher who is brave enough to open the water table to 23 brand new kindergartners on the first day of school, I have no doubt that there are many great adventures to come!
