   Haha, love how relatable these poems are! They remind me of my own crazy first day experiences. Anyone else had a wardrobe malfunction on their first day? 😂

   Just wanted to share — I tried using a poem last year, and it really broke the ice! It sparked so many conversations among the kids

   This collection is awesome! Just reading these poems made me feel nostalgic about my own first day of school. Any tips on making the first day feel less intimidating for kids?

   I wonder if there are poems about friendships that could be included? Making friends is often a big part of the first day experience

    Just want to say thank you for these! Sharing them at the teacher’s meeting next week to kick off the school year!

    Just a thought! What about creating a special "poem of the month" feature for the classroom? It could help keep the creativity flowing throughout the year

14. Sarah L. - 03/15/2025 10:19

    So inspired by these poems! 🎉 I feel like they can really help set a positive tone for the school year. Can't wait to share with fellow teachers!

    I can't believe the new school year is almost here! These poems give me hope for a fun first day. Have any been written by students? That could be fun

    Honestly, these poems would be great for integrating poetry into tech classes! Maybe I can get my students to code a poem! 🖥️

    Thanks for sharing this! I’m looking for ways to encourage my kids to express their feelings. These poems could be a great starting point!

21. Max 123 - 03/31/2025 07:16

    Quick question: Are there any poems included that process the anxiety students might feel on the first day? It would be great to help kids with those emotions

    These poems are adorable! I'm planning to read one at the morning assembly. It would be so nice to kick off the year with some creativity!

    The creativity here is fantastic! I’m curious, which poem would be the best introduction for kindergarteners? Some of them can be shy

    I think these will be a hit with my students! Not just for the first day but throughout the year. Anyone have experience reading poems in class
