On the first day of school Nolan came home with this poem in his backpack. Of course he insisted he needed to sprinkle some on himself in the car, right away, but luckily he listened to my instant “NO!”
“When you’re feeling nervous in your tummy and there is a jitter,
Think of your new teacher and sprinkle some glitter.
You will find a brand new feeling when you are done.
Ant then you are ready for exciting learning and fun!
Mom and Dad might need some glitter for they are nervous too.
I have a secret between me and you. Your teacher at this moment is sprinkling some jitter glitter too!
Now we are all sparkling and ready for the year to begin.
This glitter is filled with love from your teacher, your new friend!”
(Attached to the poem was a baggie filled with colored glitter)
How cute is this idea? Have I mentioned how much we LOVE our teacher! Not only did she call on Sunday (Oh and boy do I have an upcoming blog post about THAT), she also sent a postcard today in the mail. And it is only Wednesday. She is making her class feel so welcome!
Can you tell Nolan being in Kindergarten is going to create all kinds of blog fodder? I hope I have enough time to keep up!
She called you on Sunday??? Wow!!!
