Kindergarten

Billy isn’t usually a nervous child, but today was different.

Today, Billy would do something he has never done before.

Today is Billy’s first day of Kindergarten.

Billy’s mom drops him off at school and says goodbye.

He walks into the building slowly.

He walks down the hall to room 108, his new class.

 

Inside he sees other kids coloring and playing with blocks.

His new teacher, Miss Jones, shows him to his table.

He sits down with the other kids, and starts drawing.

 

A little while later, it’s time for music.

The class is full of all sorts of instruments; maracas, xylophones and tambourines.

But Billy picks up a kazoo hiding behind some books.

After music, the class heads to gym.

They go outside where it’s warmer, and play baseball and Frisbee.

Billy hit the ball further than anyone else in the class.

 

When gym is done, the class comes inside for lunch.

Billy’s mom packed him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, an apple, and a carton of milk.

He sits and talks happily with the other kids in his class.

 

When the kids return, it’s time for writing.

The teacher writes all the letters of the alphabet on the board, and the kids copy them.

Billy is having trouble on the letter ‘R’, but a new friend helps him out.

 

The class then goes to the library.

The librarian tells them all about the library, and they take any book they want home.

Billy chooses a story about pirates at sea.

 

The class comes back into the room for snack time.

It’s a pretty hot day, so the teacher gets them all popsicles.

But Billy eats his too quick, and gets brain freeze!

 

The kids go outside for recess after their snack.

 

Billy's older brother told Billy about recess, and how it was the best part of the day.

 

He was right. Billy played on the swings, slide and monkey bars the whole time.

 

 

The last class of the day is art.

The teacher passes out paint, markers and crayons for the kids to color with.

Billy picks a green marker and draws a picture of the forest by his house.

 

At the end of the day, Billy walks outside to find his mom.

He spots her car and goes running towards it.

He tells her he loved his new school, and wants to go every day.
