We had a great first day of pre-k! We enjoyed eating breakfast and lunch in the cafeteria, exploring our centers in the classroom, reading a story about Pete the Kitty's First Day of Preschool and Pete the Cat I Love my White Shoes, singing songs, eating a snack, playing in the gym, and taking a nap! We had lots of fun and are excited about tomorrow! #elevate38
