I am a big fan of this Author. Her books are relatable and easy to use with any grade level. I used her original book "Our class is a family", to open up the school year this year. It brought a sense of unity and a scope of our common goal into my virtual space. I can't wait to use this book next year, as my first week introduction. Also, I had the pleasure of having Mrs. Olsen visit with my class. Her affection with the students was wonderful. She got them moving and engaged. It was the best virtual experience I could have given my class in this crazy school year. If you have the books, schedule a visit you will not regret it. It is worth every penny. I also use these book at home. My daughter is 4 and can read My class is a family to me word for word. I was also able to schedule an author visit for her class, because they study authors, a new one each month. Her teacher was so grateful , and thought it was the best experience she could have given the children in Pre-k to foster their love for writing. So from pre-k to third grade the book is relatable and relevant for all!!!

This is a perfect way to start a year with a new class. No matter the age, every elementary teacher will love sharing this book and making connections with their students right away. It’s heartfelt and sets the right tone for the year. The follow-up book for the end of the year is a perfect match. Well done!

This is a wonderful book to read on the first day of school! Following our reading, we request that students think of three things you want your teacher to know about you… This activity allows the teacher to learn quite a lot about each student, from if writing is a struggle or comes easy. Th student may shared some important information about themselves; additionally, handwriting. Plus, you can develop a start place for your instructional needs of the class.

Super cute to read on the first day of school!

Cute story

Great book, came in time.

Awesome book, however for the price it would have been nice to have it in hard cover.

Brilliant book, with such a lovely message. I am so happy to have come across this book via the teaching community on Instagram. I’m looking forward to sharing it with my class in the Autumn, and establishing a caring classroom community. Gorgeous illustrations too!

I love the illustrations. In school is not all about school work, some values like respect and kindness are very important and we also learn them at home, church, community and school.
