It was pretty exciting walking to school with all our neighbors, joining the ranks of the "big kids". We walked Marley into Room 1, and he found a seat near one of his preschool buddies.
The kids lined up to head outside for the flag raising ceremony and the principal's welcome speech.
All the parents were invited to stay and watch the ceremony. For 51 years, a member of the Schmitz Family (the school's namesake) has attended this first-day-of-school tradition.
He reported that:
*During choice time, he played with Legos, but he didn't have enough time to build what he was trying to build, so he hoped there would be more time with Legos the next day.
*At recess he played with Miles and Henry J.
*The kids mostly stayed at their desks, but went to the carpet once. They sat on rows of different colored squares. His square was blue.
*He sat next to Henry J. at lunch.
*He didn't use the bathroom at all during the day.
*They got to see the gym, but didn't do PE, yet.
*The day went by really fast!

Oh my gosh, he's so big! A bit concerned with the whole not using the bathroom thing... :) Surprised they sit at their desks so much! Although, I've often told parents that as a teacher, I'll only believe half of what their child says happens at home, if they only believe half of what their child says happens at school. :)
