Today was the first day of GT for the Kindergartners. We brainstormed ways that you might feel about starting this new adventure. Enjoy! We would love to hear about a first day you have experienced. How did you feel? We are trying to expand our feeling vocabulary!
Dear Kindergartners,
I remember my first day of third grade because I moved from California to Texas. I was at a new school with a new teacher and I did not have any friends, yet. I was feeling: apprehensive, curious, sensitive, and excited.
Hugs,

Kindergartners,
When I was 30 years old and Mrs. Germadnik was 4 1/2, we moved to Okinawa, Japan. I had never been that far from my home in Texas, and was so worried about moving to a foreign country with my husband and 3 children. My parents were sad to not see their grandchildren as often as they had in the past. I also had hoped to move to Europe, not Asia!!! Imagine my surprise when after 3 years on that small island, we had made the closest friends of our lives, and thoroughly enjoyed traveling all over the Orient. To this day, some 30+ years later, I still look at our time in Okinawa as my very favorite Air Force assignment.
Once I got over my apprehension, fear, and sadness, I was open to experiencing the joy, learning, and happiness of my new environment.
