Thanks for sharing these tips and ideas for the first day of school. We normally read “First Day Jitters” on the first day, so I am grateful to see the other story ideas that you provided. Though we already began the 2021-2022 school year, I have favorited your post to use in the future. Awesome ideas!

I also hand out “Me Bags” the first day, review the instructions with students, and then send them home the first night, with instructions to bring them back to share on the last day of that first week. We do make some kind of craft as well that highlights some unique things about each student.
