This Back to School book is 2020’s must-have book for teachers.
The rhyming text and bright, friendly illustrations are engaging and show many types of families, and then reminds us that a "family doesn't have to be who you're related to."
The author then takes us through the many facets of classroom life - a teacher who wants it to feels like home away from home, teacher and classmates supporting us on our tough days, making mistakes as we learn, appreciating the ways in which we are unique and the things we have in common.
In our Spanish Immersion program, the students are together K-4, so they really do become a family. The COVID separation has been hard on them, so I know they will understand and relate to this sweet message about making a classroom a comfortable place to spend each day. I can't wait to read it to them next week!
