First Day Jitters

Wonderful book!

I read this book to my middle school students at the start of every year. They just love it! They giggle and laugh about my use of a picture book, then they really get into it. It's a wonderful icebreaker!

Great book for making connections

The kids were so surprised by the ending and it helped them understand that their first day of school feelings were normal - even the teacher has them! :)

First Day Anxiety

I am a retired teacher who has experienced many a case of "First Day Jitters." I purchased this book for a young friend who had just gotten her first job teaching kindergarten a week before school started. I was familiar with the story and thought she would enjoy it on her first day in a brand new school. I delivered the book to the school office two days before the start of school. Since she was busy getting the new classroom in order, my friend didn't read the book until the first day of school with her new class. She read it aloud, not knowing the ending. Both she and the children were surprised and excited to find out that the main character was the new teacher.
This book is well written and covers all the anxieties of starting school, even if you're the teacher. It shows children that they aren't the only ones with apprehensions. It is a great book for all elementary grades and especially for teachers facing a new class.

Great Book for the First Day of School

I enjoyed reading this book and used it in a training session for teachers this August.

I know the feeling...

Cute as can be! This is about Sarah's first day at a new school. However, it was a hilarious twist that reminds teachers and students alike that they are all in the same boat.
