7 Days and Counting!

I have made my first big decision about the first day of school. Our school's open house is two days before the first day of school. I will have a packet of information that I will give to parents and one of those sheets will be an "All About Me" sheet. Here is something similar to what I will be doing.

On the first day of school they will (hopefully) bring in their All About Me sheets. I will give the students a face and they will color themselves. When they are finished they will introduce themselves to the class and their pictures and with their info sheets will go up outside the classroom.

The next thing I plan to do on the first day of school is read two books.

Two great books about being uncertain and a little scared about starting 1st grade.

On day two I will start the day by reading this book:

I hope you will consider these books when thinking about how to start your school year!
