It's time for Pigeon to go to school, but he really, really doesn't want to. In fact, he spends most of the story trying to get out of it. "What if I don't like school?" "What if there is math?" "What if the teacher doesn't like pigeons?" The good news is, by the end of the book, he realizes it's all going to be ok, which is hopefully reassuring for your students as well. If this Mo Willems picture book is on your back to school read-aloud list, come check out all these fun ideas for K-1 kids!

Help children feel prepared for their day away from school with these field trip readiness and reflection activities. It includes posters reminding children to return their permission slips, wear their name tags, be safe on the school bus, and more. When you return from your trip, be sure to save some time to jot down a few memories and write thank you letters to the adults who made the day possible. We especially love the idea of having children rate and review the field trip overall.

It includes posters reminding children to return their permission slips, wear their student ID tags, be safe while riding on the school bus, and more. When you return from your trip, be sure to save some time to jot down a few memories and write thank you letters to the adults who made the day possible.

Our Class Is a Family by Shannon Olsen has become a back to school favorite in kindergarten and first grade classrooms. We definitely think it should be on your list of first week read-alouds! The book's message is simple, but important... a group of people who care about each other is another type of family. It's perfect for the first day of school and introduces young children to key community concepts like respect, kindness, perseverance, and teamwork.

First Grade Morning Work Journals
I don't know about you, but I've had a love-hate relationship with my morning work routines in the past. In my best case scenarios, it looked like stacks of worksheets that required time standing at the copy machine, hoping it wouldn't break down before I finished. The kids sighed when they saw them and I rarely even checked them. What a waste of time and resources. These days, we love our new routine! With blank journals and a set of digital slides, we've moved from boring to meaningful and everyone's happy about it.
