365 books, please is a year-long project by yours truly, Anna L. I am a pre-service teacher (a.k.a. grad student), aspiring to build my classroom library by December 31st, 2011. Each day, I'll contribute a work to the collection. You'll find short and sweet posts about pieces such as picture books, instructional texts, juvenile fiction, comics, classics, and more! Cultivating future generations of avid readers is the goal. Your support is greatly appreciated, and recommendations are welcome.

The First Days of School
My mentor teacher told me this is a must read for all teachers -- novice or veteran. I'm reading right now and finding it extremely practical. The premise is that the success of your teaching year hinges on what takes place the first few days of class. Though one of many topics, I was thrilled to see SEVERAL chapters on classroom management. The Wongs know their stuff! This book is a gold mine for all instructors, particularly pre-service teachers.
