Aug 22nd, 2011  - The day finally arrived. My first day in Kindergarten at Mockingbird Elementary. Since the school starts early, my parents woke me up at around 6:30. I followed my usual routine of having my milk and breakfast, took a shower and got ready to go to school. Since it was my first day, I called my grandparents in India for their blessings.

Since it was my first day today, both my parents came to drop me off at school. They also allowed the parents to drop us to the classroom. As soon as I walked in, the teacher asked me to wear my name tag. I then kept my bag in the cubby and my lunch box outside and went around the class. I found my chair and asked my parents to leave. 

I made a lot of new friends today, Amanda, Connor, Blake, Nico, Anu, Aromi, Madeline, Srikar, Vivek, Tanvi, Joshua and Radhika. The teacher made me draw a picture of something I did over the summer.  We read a book called "Mrs Bindergarten is ready for Kindergarten". The other book we read was "Mama, Don't Go".  I had lunch with Connor and Anu. I get to eat in the cafeteria.

I had a snack in the afternoon with Blake, Connor, Aromi and Amanda. After snack, we played a game called Star Falls on the Smart Board. I got B as a match letters card game. Soon it was time to go home. We waited outside for our parents to come and pick me up.

An exciting 1st day at school.
