First Day Jitters!

School starts on August 22, so I am quickly getting everything ready.  I am dying to get to work in my classroom, but can't go in for another week.  I'm so excited I've been pulling these crazy all-nighters making all my crafty classroom stuff! I can't sleep anyway, so I figure I might as well be productive!

On the Friday before school starts we have an open house and I can't wait to meet all my little second graders!  I know a lot of them will be nervous about the first day of school, so I prepared a little treat for them to take home from the open house to ease their jitters before Monday morning. (So many people have been asking for downloads, that I am including a copy of my Back to School Magic sheet for download.)

I'm giving them each a copy of this poem, along with the magic goody bag.  Knowing their teacher cares, will likely help them feel much better about school the next day!  And, below is a picture of the little goody bag I made for each child.

Oooh, I can't wait for school to start.  I'm running to the pharmacy to refill my Ambien right now!
