The first week of school... It's exciting. It's nerve racking. It's busy. And boy, is it TIRING! The first week (or three) are certainly not a normal picture of how things flow in the classroom during most of the year.

Can you believe August is just a few days away? I have the perfect back to school craft! Have you read You're Finally Here by Melanie Watt?

Are you ready for back to school? I am! Actually, we already had our first day of school and we are just about in full swing. It was a great first 3 days of school and I know next week will be even better as we begin to build some routines. Here are a few of my favorite things from the first day.

This first day of school activity idea helps students process and share how they are feeling on the first day of school!

Your students will love to compare how they felt on the first day with how they feel on the last day.
