This coming school year I will be a second-year teacher in second grade.
I will be staying in the same school and same room. That stability can allow me to focus on many other things this year. A huge lack I noticed throughout last year is a lack of social skills, such as sharing, tattling, respect, kindness, and many more. These books will go toward teaching kids these crucial skills that will follow them wherever they go in life. These stories are fascinating, silly, and relatable where they can learn about so many important skills.
