Watch a short clip about our first day of school: First Day at JPA in under a minute.
Excitement, anxiety, pride and a few normal tears on our first day of JPA as our little birds move up to their next class or begin school for the very first time. The children looked with wonder at their new classroom environments and wanted to play with everything on the shelves. The beginning of the year is when we build rapor and connection with our new friends and teachers as we learn about each other and set up classroom expectations and routines so everyone feels safe and calm at school. Almost 3 weeks later, we have no more tears, but lots of excitement and shared experiences!
