I am returning to the classroom next year after six years spent as our school's librarian. I am very excited about this. Next year will be my 26th year in teaching and most people might ask, why would you leave a job like the library where there is no grading and lots of open time not committed to a specific class? It's not too hard to explain. I really love teaching reading and writing. I really miss making connections with students in a classroom on a daily basis and continuing conversations that began the day before. So, 6,7,8 ELA classroom, here I come!
I have already begun to plan for next year. I've been reading and re-reading lots of books from my personal library. A few are pictured here. I have to get back from another teacher my copies of The Book Whisperer by Donalyn Miller, Real Revision by Kate Messner and Book Love by Penny Kittle. I definitely want to review those again.
I'm always looking for suggestions. Please comment if you have any.
