First Day of School Magic Dust

As you prepare for your child to go to school for the very first time it can be very exciting but it’s also an anxious time for both parents and your little ones.  It’s a great opportunity to talk about feelings and what we do when we feel a certain way.  My daughter and I talked about school a lot this summer to help prepare her for her Kindergarten experience.  We made a special “Going to School” Book by writing the text together about different parts of a school day and illustrating it together.  You can print your own {HERE}

To help make this transition go smoothly my daughter received a special First Day of School Poem from her teacher that was so precious I wanted to share with you.  She was so excited about putting her magic dust from her teacher under her pillow all week long that we even had to make a special Count Down to School for the First Day of School. 

Here a PRINTABLE Version of the First Day of School Poem

Here are the directions
