It’s so good to be back with all of you. The year was odd and many days I spent taking it one day at a time. Next year, I am moving grade levels and buildings. I will be opening a brand new school in our district and teaching third grade again. This was just what I needed to move past teaching during a pandemic and reboot. I thought I would share the title of each book.
Some of the books I have the primary version of. Some of the books are recommended with our new math workshop framework for our district. Some of them will help me refresh my thinking for reading instruction and some of them will anchor my thinking about the environment and play. As I type this list, I realize it’s lofty.
