This wonderfully inspiring read aloud, RA-F, is about a little girl named Lena, her nervous shoes, and her Dad discussing the dilemma. You see it's her first day of school. The first day of school can be a very traumatic experience for children being away from their Mom or Dad, guardians, grandparents, for the first time.

DrSpalding What a wonderful read aloud on the first day of school. When you say F I know you mean section however this would be realistic fiction I assume? Universal design principle 3.1 works perfectly as does 6.1. You were easily able to align Universal design and English learner strategies. 3y

Lena's Shoes Are Nervous: A First-Day-of-School Dilemma | Keith Calabrese

pick

This MF, award-winning (CCBC Choice, ALA/ALSC Notable Children‘s Book, Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Honor Book) work is perfect for those getting ready to go to their first day of school. Lena and her clothes are so excited, that is, except for her shoes. Her shoes were nervous and didn‘t want to try something new. That was until a friend (headband) reminded the shoes of all the times they were scared and decided to be brave.

TabathaA Best presented as a RA to address SEL, using UDL 7.2 (optimize relevance, value, authenticity), and EL 3 (encourage self-talk ā€“ positive thinking).

PatriciaS I love books that address challenges and issues our children face and reading about it allows children to realize they are not the only ones feeling this way. Great review š‘¨ thanks 3y

Vanvlieta Aw what a cute story! This would be a great RA for the first week of school. It would also be a great way to show students that everyone gets nervous, and its normal feel that way about something new(a nice book to incorporate SEL) š™š¸¼ thanks for sharing! 3y

DrSpalding You clearly wanted to find great books that you could use to support students emotionally and academically. The feelings and emotions guide is an excellent resource. Well done. 3y
