1. Left the school I was in due to administration changes and truly being unsupported in my position.
2. Found a new school to go to, had a great school year and met awesome educators! Received tenure, baby!!
3. Same school, had 15 teachers come and go on our team, eventually leaving just me in 4th grade with 60 kiddos. We didn't have a principal until February. Our building got hit by a tornado, my hall was destroyed. We moved an entire building into a new building in 4 days. Taught in that room for 3 days, and then we were out for the rest of the year due to Covid-19. Oh... and I won teacher of the year!
Brings us up to the present day: I am going to a new school, and trying out a new grade level. I am super excited about moving to second grade! I'll get to see the kids grow and mature as they change grade levels. Everyone keeps telling me 2nd grade is the best grade to teach, and I cannot wait to agree with that. :)
While packing up, I noticed that most of my picture books have disappeared. So, I'm looking for new books to put in my library. After scouring the internet, I created a list that I definitely want to add. What other books should I make sure to have in my 2nd grade class library? Leave me a comment with suggestions!
