First Day Jitters
By Robin HB

Clip to ScrapBook   
I discovered this book just last night, and think it's just wonderful! I'm planning to use it as a read-aloud on our first day (second grade) and would like to extend it to discussion, writing, or art dealing with the anxious feelings we have at the start of a school year - just put them all on the table - and then have kids voice ways we can alleviate some of this nervous edge. Does this sound reasonable? Does anyone have other ideas on extensions for this book or other first day books?
