Two stories by Julie Danneberg. First Day Jitters: Sarah Jane Hartwell is apprehensive about her first day in a new school. Last Day Blues: The children imagine how sad Mrs. Hartwell and the other teachers must be at the end of the school year.

"When Mrs. Hartwell is out sick and her substitute doesn't show up, the teachers and staff at the school pitch in to help"--Provided by publisher.

"In The Science of Fashion, readers learn how science and engineering makes the entire fashion industry possible. Explore the computer technology used in fashion design, the science behind dyes and special treatments such as waterproofing, and the engineering innovations in manufacturing through hands-on projects, links to online resources, and text-to-world connections"--Provided by publisher.

Mrs. Hartwell is home sick today, and throughout the day her students send her emails informing her about what is happening as the other teachers take turns watching the class--and the room becomes increasingly messy.

Mrs. Hartwell is concerned that preparing her students to take the Big Test is only making them nervous, and so she thinks of a way to help them relax.

It is class picture day and Mrs. Hartwell is doing her best to keep her class looking their neat and well-dressed best, but the pictures will not be taken until the end of the day, and as the hours pass the students become messier and messier until they look like their normal selves--and that works out just fine.
