Going back to school books

August is time for going back to school and I’m spending the month sharing ways that you can set you and your learners up for success. Picture books are a great integration to your first week activities because they can be used to set up routines and expectations, they can reach your learners in a very unique way, and they can help you save time in your teaching.

In this episode, I share 7 picture books for going back to school. Listen in to discover some amazing picture books that can lead to outdoor exploration, stewardship conversations, and new perspectives!

• Let’s Go Rock Collecting by Roma Gans, illustrated by Holly Keller
