It's a Blog Hop!

I am so excited to join my PA blogger buddies in hosting this Back-to-School Freebie Blog Hop!


  
Good bye July, I'm really gonna miss you.  Another school year is right around the corner.  Panic is starting to set in.

Are you feeling just a little anxious about the end of a beautiful summer the beginning of another school year?  To help rest your worries, each of us has a prepared a little back-to-school treat just for you. 


Wemberly Worried by Kevin Henkes

When I reflect on my own 'first day of school' experiences, I would have to admit that I begin each school year with worries and anxiety.  It seems logical that students may experience similar feelings.  We can minimize these fears with a few carefully planned activities.

I enjoy using the book, Wemberly Worried.  It's a great read aloud choice for launching a conversation about the worries that students have about the first day of school. 

I'm sharing the activities I use with Wemberly Worried as my Blog Hop Freebie.  {Free for a limited time.}
