This was a great first day activity to go along with the book “First Day Jitters”. My students loved the resources. A few of my students figured it out at the end but I had to explain it to most of the class. This is going to be my go to first day activity!
Thank you for created such wonderful resources.

This was a great first day activity! Both my co-teacher and I are new to our school, so it was particularly fitting for us. The students didn’t figure out the twist at the end until we revealed it, so they really enjoyed this activity.
