Children's Books for the First Day of School
Tuesday July 22, 2008
It's natural for young students to get nervous about the first day of school. My colleague Elizabeth Kennedy recommends a list of Children's Books for the First Day of School that will help alleviate your young students' anxieties.
My favorite book to read on the first day has long been First Day on a Strange New Planet. My third graders have always loved the lighthearted, whimsical nature of the story, and I've enjoyed the way it sets their minds at ease on day one.
What book do you read with your students on the first day of school?

I read First Day Jitters.
I read Kevin Henkes book entitled, Wemberly Worried! Perfect for my 2nd graders!
