You will be making a name tent. Today, I will take it up, but tomorrow, you will
bring it to class each day so I can learn your names.
Directions:
1. Fold the paper in the middle of the length (longest part or hotdog style) of the
index card.
2. Your tent will look like an upside down letter V.
3. IN PENCIL, write out your name very LARGELY on one side of the tent to make
sure that it fits.
4. Once your name looks good, write it in dark marker.
5. Draw a picture or pictures that represent something about you.

Morning Routine
Reading
8:30-9:30
I introduce myself and parapro and we play a simple name game. For the game, we sit in a circle and pass a foam ball around
saying our names and our favorite color. Then, the teacher will discuss the rules and read No David! or David Goes to School
by David Shannon. Afterwards, we talk about some of the rules David broke and how he would have a hard time if he were in
our classroom. We practice lining up and I take them on a quick tour of our school (clinic, front office, library, computer lab, and
specials). We also go the lunchroom and practice walking through the lunch line and finding our lunch table. We take a quick
stop at the bathrooms on the way outside.

17. Cont. Class Schedule
We come back in and get drinks, go the bathroom, and return to the floor. We talk about how kindergarten is
different from being at home with mom or dad or at daycare or with a nanny. I share and read the book The
Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn and afterwards we talk about how if we ever get sad we just put our hand close to
our hearts and think of our family to feel better again.
10:55-11:20
After we clean up our centers and come back to the floor, I use popsicle sticks to call them one by one to get their
snack and bring it to the table. I let them enjoy and socialize the first day. Sometimes we will listen to a cd or read
a story during this time.
