Back to School Books 

We have a fun list of Back to School Books to hopefully ease any “first day jitters.”

Also, here are some helpful hints for all the Moms out there in our blog post from last year – you can click HERE to read it.

 

First Day Jitters (Mrs Hartwells classroom adventures)

She is quickly befriended by Mrs. Burton, who helps smooth her jittery transition. This charming and familiar story will delight readers with its surprise ending.

The Night Before First Grade

This humorous take on Clement C. Moore’s classic tale has a perfect twist ending that will surprise readers—as well as the “heroine” of the story—and help all about-to-be first-graders through their own back-to-school jitters.

 

The First Day of School

Available at Amazon

I loved that this book told the story of a little girl named Elizabeth and her experience with starting school.  She meets her teacher and is looking very forward to school.  The first day arrives, she is shy and nervous.  She realizes that school is fun.  She makes friends, learns songs & has a great time.

A fun idea is to  have your child write their own “Back to School” book.
