Day 2 ...even smoother!

Today, Day 2, seemed to go a little smoother for us and for the students. Students knew where their locker was and where their rooms were when they arrived in the morning. Hopefully, arrival was smoother for parents also today...fewer parents and grandparents parked out front and so traffic continued to move in the morning.
It was also a beautiful day to be outside during recess. Here are some candid pictures of some students from the upper grades while they were outside today.

Our First Day

What a great first day!...helpful, dedicated Akiva staff, excited parents and enthusiastic students.
Here are a few pictures from today.


A shiny hallway awaits the arrival of the students.

Getting Ready...

Well, things are still pretty active at Akiva. Carol, Sherry and I, along with many teaching staff members, have been working hard at Akiva to have things prepared for the students' arrival on Monday, August 27.
Most of our work the last week has been in transforming last years Teacher's Lounge into a new second grade classroom.
We have hired Mrs. Barb Guffey to be our new second grade teacher. She spent time with Mrs. Hugli today reviewing curriculum, the daily schedule and other pertinent information. She is very excited about working with us at Akiva.
