Writing books

Maddie's teacher, Mrs. Evans, is a huge advocate for reading and computers. She was the computer lab teacher at her school for 12 years until being a first grade teacher this year. So she has computers in the classroom that the kids are learning to type on. Every week, the kids write a couple books, Mrs. Evans has them laminated and bound, then they can check them out to bring home.

The first day of school, their first book was appropriately titled "On the First Day of School."
The kids got to color one picture to put in the book of something memorable about the first day. They also got to type and print the words that went along with their picture.

Most kids drew pictures that said "We rode the bus," or "We ate lunch," and even "We had free time."

What did Maddie think was so "memorable" about the first day of school?
So it begins...
