First Day of School
 

 

Today’s the first day of school.
 

My stomach flips and flops just thinking about it.
 

I put on my lucky socks.
 

I make my favorite sandwich.
 

I sharpen my special pencil.
 

And, I repack my school bag a gazillion times.
 

But I’m still jittery from my head to my toes.
