Kindergarten

Hannah started kindergarten on Aug. 24, 2009 at Discovery Elementary. Her teacher's name is Mrs. Davenport.

"Everything I need to know, I will learn in Kindergarten."

"I'm so glad as I can be

to have you spend the year with me.

I'll help you learn the alphatbet

and give you a hug when your upset.

You'll zip your coat and tie your shoe

and maybe meet a friend of two.

When the year is through adn we must part

You will hold a special place in my heart."

Love,

Mrs. Davenport

(Hannah's teacher sent this to her in the mail)



Hannah was lucky in that she probably knew 90% of her classmates, which made the excitment of school even greater.

Hannah was so excited to start school she called both of her grandparents the night before and told them all about her backpack and how many pockets it had and what color it was she was so funny to listen to. She also told me that she didn't think she would be able to sleep that night because she was so excited to start school. We (I mean Me) tried our hardest to be excited for her, but when she wasn't looking there were some tears shed.

Along with the little poem Mrs. Davenport sent to Hannah she sent one to the parents to...


THE FIRST DAY

I gave you a little wink and smile

As you entered my room today.

For I know how hard it is to leave

And know your children must stay.

You've been with them for five years now

And have been a loving guide,

But now, alas, the time has come

To leave them at my side.

Just know that as you drive away

And tears down your cheeks may flow

I'll love them as I would my own

And help them learn and grow.

For as a parent, I too know

How quickely the years do pass

And that one day soon it will be my turn

To take my child to class.

So please put your mind at ease

And cry those tears no more

For I will love them and take them in

When you leave them at my door.

Love, Mrs. Davenport

I am so excited for Hannah to have such a great year and I know she is excited to learn and grow to.
