What are some books you read at the beginning of the year? I always do First Day Jitters but it seems as though the kids have heard it a few times by the time they get to me. What about books for rules and procedures? I do No David! and my 5th graders love it! I also read Officer Buckle and Gloria and the kids will act out the rules like Gloria does. I'm looking for some ideas to freshen up the start of the year. TIA!
Amelia Bedelia's First Day of School looks cute. I've never read it but it looks like it would lead into a fun lesson on idioms.
It's Hard to be a Verb! good for hyper kids who need coping skills A Bad Case of Stripes be true to yourself Giraffes Can't Dance everybody is different, but we all have talents Miss Nelson is Missing behave or you'll regret it, lol Chrysanthemum don't make fun of others The Brand New Kid meeting new students Odd Velvet everyone is different, but celebrate the differences Bully B.E.A.N.S. teaches everyone to be proactive about bullying That's what I can think of right now....
