First Day Jitters
This is the heartwarming story of a girl who is scared to go to school on her first day. She hides in her bed, and shows in other ways that she is nervous about what's to come. At the end of the book, the reader realizes that girl is not a student, but is actually the teacher.
This book could help create classroom community on the first day of school. Students would either write or share their own feelings about the first day of school, after they have been shown that it's ok to be nervous about something new.
