A wonderful first day of school read aloud and on this year's Texas 2x2 list is School's First Day of School. When we think about the first few days of school, we always think of the students being worried. We never think about the school being worried. In this story, a school is built and treated with loving kindness by the janitor. When it is time for the first day of school, the school is worried about the children, the noise, and all the messes. While the school is worried, there is a new little girl who is worried, too. As she gets used to the school, the school gets used to all the new busyness that surrounds it. Reminded me of the many first day read alouds we do with students.. I loved the school's point of view ...because we never really think of a school feels!
