Kindergarten

The First Day of Kindergarten
Everyone has a "first day" when they feel sad and all alone.
It can be so scary when you're out on your own.
Take my hankie, dry your tears.
You'll find lots of things to do
And you'll probably make new friends.
I promise we'll be together when the school day ends.
Here comes the teacher, blow your nose and be brave.
Come on now, wipe your eyes, this is no way to behave.
"Well good morning teacher. We must really beg your pardon.
No, Mommy doesn't always act this way.
But it's my first day of KINDERGARTEN!"

Kadence's Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Penry, sent us this poem and a picture to welcome her to her class. I thought it was really fitting since I cried after I dropped Kadence off. They grow up so fast. It seems like just yesterday she was a little tiny baby. She really enjoyed her first day as a "Penry Pirate." They went on a Treasure Hunt and she made lots of friends at recess.
