Kickstart the School Year with Ready Confetti Magic!
As a kindergarten teacher, I've discovered a wonderful secret to turning those first-day jitters into pure excitement – Ready Confetti! For more than a decade, I've used this enchanting tradition to welcome my students to a new school year filled with wonder and anticipation. Let me share with you the magic of Ready Confetti and why it's become an indispensable part of my classroom.
A Sprinkle of Surprise: Ready Confetti Unveiled
Imagine the night before school starts – the mix of excitement, curiosity, and maybe even a hint of nervousness. Ready Confetti swoops in like a burst of joy, creating an unforgettable memory for both me and my students. The delight on their faces when they discover the confetti under their pillows is priceless. It's like a special secret shared between us, a little promise of the adventures and growth that lie ahead.
From Jitters to Joy: The Power of Ready Confetti
First-day jitters are perfectly normal, even for teachers like me. That's why I join in on the fun by placing confetti under my own pillow. And believe it or not, I find comfort in knowing that this simple tradition is a way for both my students and me to ease those pre-school butterflies. Ready Confetti helps create a sense of camaraderie and connection, transforming nervous energy into eager anticipation.
Inspiring Words of Encouragement: The Ready Confetti Handout
I've crafted a special handout that accompanies the Ready Confetti magic. It goes like this:
Ready Confetti
The night before school is exciting and fun.
There are always so many things to be done.
Your clothes are ready, your backpack is too.
Your classroom is filled with fun things to do.
Lots of questions go through your mind,
All types of thoughts of every kind.
But sometimes we all get the jitters down deep,
And that makes it hard to fall fast asleep.
So I've made this magic confetti for you,
Full of promises for the whole year through.
On this night when you lay down your head,
Just sprinkle some under your pillow in bed.
The confetti will help you sleep through the night,
And wake up in the morning fresh and bright.
I sprinkle the confetti under my pillow too,
Because I am so super excited to see YOU!
