have a funny one to share with you tonight it's called First Day Jitters this book
was written by Julie Dannenberg she's the author and illustrated by Judy Love She's
the illustrator let's Jump Right In Here We Go First Day Jitters Sarah dear time to get out of bed
Mr Hartwell said poking his head through the bedroom doorway you don't want to miss the first
day at your new school do you I'm not going said Sarah and she pulled the covers over her head
of course you're going honey said Mr Hartwell as he walked over to the window and snapped up the
shade no I'm not I don't want to start over again I hate my new school Sarah said she tunneled
down to the end of her bed how can you hate your new school sweetheart Mr Hartwell chuckled
you've never been there before don't worry you liked your other school and you'll like this one
besides just think of all the new friends you'll meet that's just it I don't know anybody and it
will be hard and I just hate it that's all well what will everyone think if you aren't there
we told them you were coming they will think that I am lucky and they will wish that they
were at home in bed like me Mr Hartwell sighed Sarah Jane Harwell I'm not playing this silly
game one second longer I'll see you downstairs in five minutes Sarah tumbled out of the bed she
stumbled into the bathroom she fumbled into her clothes my head hurts she moaned
as she trudged into the kitchen Mr Hartwell handed Sarah a piece of toast and her lunchbox they walked to the car
and Sarah's hands were cold and clammy they drove down the street she couldn't breathe and then they were there I feel sick
said Sarah weakly nonsense said Mr Hartwell you'll love your new school once you get started
oh look there's your principal Mrs Burton Sarah slumped down in her seat oh Sarah Mrs Burton
gushed peeking into the car there you are come on I'll show you where to go she led Sarah
into the building and walked quickly through the crowded hallways don't worry everyone is
nervous on the first day she said over her older as Sarah struggled to keep up when they
got to the classroom most of the children were already in their seats the class looked up as Mrs
Burton cleared her throat class class attention please said Mrs Burton when the class was quiet
she led Sarah to the front of the room and said class I would like you to meet your new teacher
Mrs Sarah Jane Hartwell and that is the end of first day jitters I bet you were surprised
