We will tell the stories behind those silly names on the first day of school. We laugh a lot in the Gecko Class, so you are invited to share a funny story and a nickname with the class during our first week of school. If you dont have a nickname, then please decide on a name that describes you....maybe your initials?... something you like to do?...someone famous?...a favorite movie or book character? We look forward to hearing your choice. If you are able to attend the Meet & Greet on August 27th, please bring all your supplies so they can be labeled and organized in advance.
