For the first week of school, I decided to try a craftivity - something that I usually put off for the first few months due to generally poor scissor skills and lack of familiarity with glue sticks.
First Day Jitters by Julie Danneberg is my go-to first day of school book. My kiddies never seem to understand the surprise ending though!

After reading the story on the first day, we created a chart which shared our feelings about the first day.
Later in the week, I took the plunge!
I quickly demonstrated a sample for the class and then went on to assemble another one on the chalkboard as they assembled theirs at their desk.
All in all, although it took a long time (for the slower ones), I think they turned out really well for a first week of school project!
