It's the first day of school! Join the kids as they prepare for kindergarten, packing school supplies, posing for pictures, and the hardest part of allsaying good-bye to Mom and Dad. But maybe it won't be so hard once they discover just how much fun kindergarten really is! Colorful illustrations illuminate this uplifting takeoff on the classic Clement C. Moore Christmas poem.

The Night Before Kindergarten by Natasha Wing with art by Julie Durrell is a RF picture book that would be a great RA in the classroom on the first day on school or maybe at the end of the first week of school. The story is about all of the real life expectations and fears and excitements of the first day of Kindergarten. #ucflae3414su20

Ameyer32 A great ESOL strategy would be number 45, using Venn diagrams and have the students compare and contrast the things that the students in the story did and they things that they did before they started kindergarten. A great UDL would be 3.2 highlighting the relationships between the text and the students own experiences. 4y
Ameyer32 Resources: Go to http://natashawing.com/blog/123725 for a list of questions to promote thinking about the text and real life comparisons. 4y
DrSpalding Looks like these would be great read aloud‘s during the first week of school while children have worries and jitters about starting a new school year. Your English learner and universal design principles are well aligned. 4y

This RF picture book is an amazing book for pre-k last week of school on preparation for being a kindergartener. The teacher could use this book as an S and have a presentation or an anchor chart to list all the steps, materials and emotions that the students might need/feel for that first day of kindergarten. #UCFLAE3414SP20

Zelymarie.R The author has the RA of this book on her website (https://audioboom.com/posts/6156573-the-night-before-kindergarten) by a literary coach. I could use this RA to support ESOL #16 and UDL 1.2 integrating a listening station in my classroom. 4y
VictoriaG This is a great story to use to prepare your students! I think so many times we only think about the first day of school books but this is great! 4y
Ryan_R This is so cute! I bet lots of little ones can really relate to this story!

carolinem I will like to teach Kindergarten one day so I will be adding this to my stack 4y
juliap99 This book looks so cute ! 4y
SequoiaC123 This would be so cool to use to talk about procedures and steps with the students. Especially when it‘s the first week and you‘re trying to explain or create classroom rules! Great pick! 4y
DrSpalding An excellent book to include in your kindergarten classroom library. An obvious choice as a read aloud. Expand on your English learner strategy here. 4y

“The children all waved from the door of the school. “Don't cry, Mom and Dad; kindergarten is cool!““

I would use this in my classroom as an ice breaker for the first day of school to show the kids that what they are feeling is okay.

“The Night Before Kindergarten“ does a really good job of showing the different emotions you could have before starting school and on the first day through the pictures. It is also very appropriate for this age group because everyone has the before and first day of school jitters.

Help fellow teacher peeps et al...I'm helping in an at risk English as a second language kindergarten -title one school - the teacher is 23 and fabulous- but broke- so I'm gathering picture books and supplies ❤️what I need from you all is suggestions of books and supplies!!! She speaks all the dialects needed and is actually from Guatemala. A lot of these kiddos are immigrants so they are forming a wonderful bond. All suggestions appreciated ❤️

So momma read this book with tears in her eyes (just like I did when my oldest started kindergarten) and kissed my baby bug goodnight. It‘s such a bittersweet moment. Tomorrow my baby starts kindergarten and my oldest will be a freshman in high school (where is the cute book for that I could read to her,🤣jk). Bless my lil momma heart, this year is gonna be rough!

I received this book as a donation to my #LittleFreeLibrary, but I‘m keeping it for my #grandson who will enter #kindergarten soon. He will say he doesn‘t want this book, but I‘m slipping it quietly to his parents who will appreciate it even more. Heh!
