Butterflies on the First Day of School | 
pickButterflies on the First Day of School by Annie Silvestro and illustrated by Dream Chen is an MF. It's about a girl who's starting kindergarten and even though she's excited, the closer it comes the more nervous she gets. Her mother tries to reassure her by telling her it's butterflies, which Rosie takes literally. Every time she talks or does activities with her classmates, butterflies come out of her mouth and she feels better.#UCFLAE3414SP20

Similar to First Day Jitters, it shows students that it's common to be nervous on the first day, and there are ways to get over these nerves. https://www.fantasticfunandlearning.com/first-day-school-books.html This source includes a lot of different activities to do with students for the first few days of school to get them comfortable. 5y

DrSpalding I may have to buy this book! It does remind me of the one I read to you all the first time we met, as you stated above. Sounds like an excellent read aloud for the first week of school. 5y
