My grandmother was a preschool teacher! I remember after school we’d go back to her classroom and play while she prepared everything for the next day! All of the laminating and cutting! The games, snacks, lessons! Sooo much behind the scenes work!! Because of her, I see and appreciate ALL of the work teachers do for our kids!! So THANK YOU TEACHERS!!! ..As I’ve mentioned before, Penelope, our oldest daughter, was nervous for school to start. So my grandmother sent her The Kissing Hand book!! It’s the exact copy she’d read to her preschool students every year she taught on the first day of school to help calm their nerves!! I almost didn’t want to give the book to Penelope!!

Tonight I’m sharing more of our favorite Back to School books!!
