Myrick arrived at school very happy and ready to start the day. She had a great day with the 5 other classmates - Hannah, Michael, Jeffrey, Collin and Madison. We explored the room together, learning about various areas, met Mrs R., the school occupational therapist - who did the Finger Olympics with us, watched a caterpillar shed its skin and turn to a chrysalis, released a monarch butterfly and went out to the playground two times. We had graham crackers, peanut butter and red grapes for snack, went to the music and met Ms. R. We all ate lunch in the cafeteria at the same table. After lunch we had cozy reading and then activity time. Some children drew pictures, worked in blocks, used learning materials, listened to a story at the computer or read books. Before we knew it, we cleaned up the room and said goodbye.
Myrick enjoyed working at the sand table. She loves the Bilibo chairs. Myrick enjoyed receiving the special lunch box note and had everyone read it. She also loved the caterpillar tank and kept checking it to make sure every one of them was doing well. Myrick and Mrs. S> enjoyed reading several Elephant and Piggie books together. Did Myrick tell you that the monarch butterfly landed on her shoe? I'm looking forward to next week when Myrick returns on Wednesday and again on Thursday and Friday. Next week she will bring home a collection of paperwork for you to complete. The office staff did not have it ready by dismissal time.
Thanks for sharing Myrick with us.
Here are the photos her teacher attached to the email - what a treat to have a sneek peak into her day!

Hey - it's on my shoe!
