My First Day of School
Starting at a new school. Read it together, at your pace. Every page is written in your child's voice.
1. Soon I will have my first day at a new school. New places can feel big. That is okay.
2. I might see lots of kids and new hallways. I might hear talking and bells.
The halls can be loud and busy. Lights may be bright.

3. I can bring my backpack. I can find my classroom. A teacher will show me where to go.
4. I might feel excited. I might feel nervous. I can feel both at the same time.
5. When I walk in, my teacher will say hello.
What could happen next? The teacher shows me my seat. A kid says hi to me. Everyone is busy for a bit. We don't know yet — and that's okay. 💡 Lots of different things can happen on a first day. All of them are okay, and I can ask my teacher anything.
6. If I feel lost, I can ask an adult. Asking for help is a strong thing to do.
7. At the end of the day, the bell rings. My grown-up picks me up or I ride home. My first day is done. I did it!
