Crash Course
The Life Lessons My Students Taught Me
by Kim Bearden
I learned about this book by Kim Bearden during my last blog hop; just clicked it to my ipad...and it's a great story. I haven't finished reading it but I can already recommend this book...a good read. We all have students like the ones Kim describes. I love true stories that can help my teaching. We learn so much from each other. and sometimes it's so helpful to realize that our classrooms and students are similar no matter what part of the country we teach in. This book unfolds the real reasons why we chose to teach and what matters most in your everyday routines in the classroom. a great read!
