Teachers around the country are gearing up to begin a new school year, many in a way that has never been experienced before. But, no matter the environment that teachers find themselves in this year,  whether it is virtual or in person with masks, I know this to be true: TEACHERS WILL STILL TEACH!  So, I’ve put together a Back to School series to help teachers choose books that will build their classroom communities, no matter if that community is in person or online.  

Recommended Grades: Pre-K-5

Near or far. Big or small. First or last. You matter. 

Lesson Idea: 

[image error]Mentor Text: Build Community:  You Matter (June 20, 2020, Atheneum Books for Young Readers) is a beautiful, bright, and impactful picture book about seeing the world from different points of view. Read aloud this book during the first weeks of school to help build your community, inviting students to engage with the world in a new way and see how everyone is connected, and everyone matters.
