The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn is a great book to read the first day of school. Most students on their first day can easily relate to the story. I always used the book and the craft below on the first day of school.
Here is a quick how-to for this craft on the first day of school...
Have the page printed on card stock and ready to go on the first day. I always used paint for this craft for two reasons...it looks much cuter and is a great incentive for the kiddos to work towards. While my students participated in Math Tubs I called each student one at a time and painted their hand. Using a paint brush I would leave a heart shape in the center of their hand without paint while painting the rest. Their small hands fit perfectly on page and since we had Math Tubs in the middle of the day the pages were dry and ready to go by the end of the day. These pages make a cute craft to hang on the refrigerator after the first day!
