First day of Kindergarten!

So I made it through the first day of Kindergarten!
With 3 times as many boys than girls, it was surprisingly better then I anticipated.
The morning started out a little rough, but by the afternoon it was just wonderful in our classroom!
I think we have a really great class of kids. For the most part, everyone is listening to us and following our expectations. And for the first day of their school years, I thought they all did great! And as the weeks go by, they will get accustomed to school and they should be excelling in their academics and chaos shouldn't be a problem.
I noticed about myself today that I can be firm with kids when needed. That was one thing that I was a little nervous about, but I was able to make myself be an authority figure in the classroom but still someone who can talk with them about whatever is on their mind, and just enjoy their company.
What made the day so great was when pullouts were over for a large chunk of time and we were able to have a lesson on taking work out, using it, and putting it away. We then had an open work session which was exactly what they needed! This was the best part of the day! All of the kids found things to work on and were very respectful of the materials and each others space. They loved it all! When asking the kids before they left if they had a good day, they all responded by saying, "yes," or "I loved today!" and even "This is the best school I've ever been to!" That made me feel really good about this class and what we are striving to accomplish as teachers. :)

And here is my bulletin board:
Pictures of each student and underneath their picture it answers the question, "when you grow up what do you want to be?"

(The hall way is narrow so it was hard to get a full picture of the whole board, but this shows pretty much what it is.)
