The First Day of School
As the doors open for the first day of school, students shuffle in eager to learn. The children all line up near their classrooms awaiting the sound of the morning bell. The teachers have taken their time setting up their classrooms just right for the arrival of their new students. In my classroom, the desks are labeled with each students name and the bulletin boards are bright and colorful waiting to be filled with students work. When the morning bell echoes through the hall, the children make a dash for their classroom doors. The day is about to begin, another school year that will be filled with learning, laughter, and excitement!
