I do the same thing at the end of the year so we can see how much their writing/drawing styles have changed and how much they've grown. http://ourdailybigtop.blogspot.com/2009/06/schools-out-for-summer-09.html I'm thinking of starting an all ice cream dinner or maybe breakfast for dinner for the night before the 1st day. I think the ice cream might win out. I have the kids decorate/write their name out at the beginning of the year and snap a photo on the first day.

At our school we also try to get the school year off to a great start by welcoming the entire staff back to school.

I make alphabet soup with croutons that spell their name and we have a fun "school" dessert. We also give the children a school cone. We don't start for another few weeks but I guess it's time to start thinking about these things! We always have a back to school themed dinner.

I just wanted to let you know that I saw your schultute idea on Alphamom and it brought back memories of living in Germany and seeing the German students with their schultutes. And so, thanks to you, I made one for our student on his first day of Pre-K. We are homeschooling and it really made the day start off well. (Mine wasn't as pretty as yours, since I threw it together the night before.) http://crumleyblog.com/2009/08/17/first-day-down/ inside the schultute: http://www.flickr.com/photos/crumleydotorg/3830588056/ Thanks for the memories and great idea!

It's neat to see how much they change from year to year! We always take a picture in the same place each year as we are heading out the door on the first day.
