OTS Day!

 

 

Luke counts fifteen friends in our circle. We are missing Alexander, our friend counter, and Naomi. We wished them well. Luke writes “OTIS” on our calendar.

 

T:	So, my friends, today is the first ever OTS Day! It is a day to celebrate Old Trail School. Old Trail is a fabulous place. I have been here for a very long time. I have been here almost 19 years. And I have been in Room 103 for all of those years. I love Room 103 for so many reasons. I love the gingko tree that grows and we get to find gingko leaves in the fall. I love hiking to Indigo Lake. Which we will do soon. I love the big window in our classroom where I can see so many children playing. I love all of you. I love all of the students that I have had. So, in honor of the first OTS day EVER, I want you to think about what you love about Old Trail School.
Ashton:	I love my mom comes here and read me a book. I like her very much. I always get donuts and I really like it.
Camille:	I like playing on the playground and I like that we can come in here and I get to see all of us.
Caroline:	I love Otis and I love my teachers and my specials. And when my mom and dad come read a book.
Griffin:	I love when my brother and sister cross my classroom. I like when we make stories and plays. And we do art in here. And we do projects. Art projects. I like when we do our birthdays.
Gwen:	I love when mommy picks me up. I love snuggling my stuffie at rest time.
Luke:	I love playing in the blocks.
Alex:	I love… we have done so many projects and they are really cool.
Quinn:	I like when it’s French toast stick day. And I like when we go out to recess.
Cian:	I like playing at recess and inside and I love my class. And I love you and Miss Kopp. I love everyone.

Miss Kopp:	I love the fact that our classroom has a beautiful view of the National Park that our school is nestled in. Did you know that our school is the only school in the whole country located inside of a national park? I also love that we do the Plays Project! It is one of the coolest projects I have ever done since being a teacher. All of you, of course, also make my experience at Old Trail so much better!
