I really liked how it was a sibling, not an adult, who helps ease the nerves.Ĭlover Kitty Goes to Kittygarten– Laura Purdie Salasįirst day of kindergarten told from the viewpoint of a shy child. When a little bunny is nervous about starting school, his big sister hops right in to help him overcome his fears. I Got the Rhythm and I Got the Christmas Spirit are the two other books in this series. I Got the School Spirit– Connie Schofield-MorrisonĪ young girl greets the new school year with an abundance of positive energy! Bouncy text, lots of sound words, and boundless enthusiasm in this one! Would make a great first day read-aloud. One of my favorite new Back to School books this year and a perfect one for building community within your classrooms, creating a home away from home, and making students feel safe, included, and loved. As the school year progresses, many different cultures, traditions, and observations are introduced and shared between each classmate.

So much to love and so many lesson ideas (my brain is swirling!) with this book! After their teacher tells them the first day of school is her favorite day of the year, a group of kindergarten students get the opportunity to share their favorite day with their classmates. There will never be another “back to school” quite like this one! NEW RELEASES But one thing I do know, when everything else about this year may feel completely upside down – the one constant you can rely on is… BOOKS! So here are my favorite new, older, and Covid releases for “back to school 2020”.

With just a week left, I know that many have mixed emotions about the return to school. This school year will certainly be uncharted and ever-changing territory! Students, parents, and teachers will have nonstop questions and concerns.
