Day 1: Toto Visits Mrs. Meyer’s Room

Dear Kindergartners in Room 1,

I am so happy that my best friend Dorothy and I found your classroom over the weekend! Dorothy saved me from mean old Mrs. Gulch, and we needed a good place to hide. Your classroom was perfect. It’s been very quiet and quite cheerful!

We came all the way from Kansas. The last thing I remember before coming here is a really bad storm, the kind they call a twister. It was so strong that it picked up our house and the next think I knew we landed here! Is this OZ? Are all of you Munchkins?

Dorothy and I love your classroom and wonder if we could be happy here. We saw your pictures in the hallway and thought this would be a fun and happy place for us! Kansas was plain and kind of dreary, but your room is bright and cheerful! We’ve been here all weekend, just waiting for all of you to show up!

And now, we just need to figure out where we really are if this isn’t Kansas or OZ. I think we want to go to OZ. Can you help us, and maybe point us in the right direction? We’ve heard that a Wizard in OZ might be able to help us.

Love,
Toto
