I think my favorite part of this book is the idea that kids have the opportunity to share something with the whole school every week. I'm not sure if boys still get picked on for dancing anymore. I hope not.

pickThis 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.

Read aloud by Ms. Karamy reads from Crystal Lake Public Library.
pickThis 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.
Do you ever get to a point in a book and think “Oh no! I can see this is going to go badly” and simply want to not read it so you don‘t have to go through the trauma? Maybe it‘s just me. #joyousjanuary #nervous #mustkeepreading
Happy First Day of school for everyone going back! We‘re all virtual here and while it‘s a whole new experience, it‘s been just as exciting as any year. Looking forward to the scheduled reading time 😉
First Day Jitters is a light hearted RF book written for children and their feelings for the first day of school. Sarah Jane doesn‘t want to go to school because she is very nervous to start at a new school. The ending as a great twist! www.juliedanneberg.com is the authors website that has a list of ways to use this book in the classroom. This is a great icebreaker book to use on the first day of school with your students! #UCFLAE3414SP20
