Patrick continued his participation in a first day of school activity. He listened to a read aloud, "The Kissing Hand" in a group setting. This activity enabled all of our students to get acquainted and comfortable with one another. The story is about a young raccoon and his mother, and how sometimes it can be hard going off alone. The raccoon initially missed his mother very much, but by the end of the story he realized that even though she cannot be with him all of the time, she will always be with him in his heart. Patrick worked alongside our teachers and fellow students to complete a sequencing craft. He did a great job and seemed to enjoy being around his classmates. He was friendly and open to meeting everyone! I am very excited to be working with Patrick this school year! Best wishes Patrick for a fun-filled first grade year!
