Charlesbridge Publishing First Day Jitters

We absolutely loved this book! My daughter struggles with separation anxiety so this was the perfect book to read the night before school!

I love this story and finally needed to own it for myself! I changed schools this year so it was perfect to read to my classes on the first day!

Compre este libro para mis alumnos y fue todo un éxito. Les encantó!!!!Es una buena manera de ayudar a los alumnos con los nervios el primero día de clases.

I love this book! I had to teach an RE topic on Beginnings, the first lesson of which wanted to discuss children's own experience of new beginnings. I was trying to find a book/story to read them about a child's first day ay school. This one is perfect, with a man trying desperately to coax Sarah-Jane out of bed and out of the house to go to her new school. Sarah-Jane is very reluctant - "What if no one likes me, what if I don't like the new school, etc etc. \The great twist at the end of the story is that Sarah-Jane is the teacher! My class loved this and asked me lots of questions about how I felt on my first day at their school.

A teacher suggested this book as we transition to the next grade and we have loved it!
