I know that I started this blog with the intention of reviewing children's literature for teachers and eventually to share ideas for the classroom, but this book was one that I just had to share with any elementary teachers reading this! I have not laughed so hard or frequently while reading for a very long time. I constantly was stopping family members and reading portions aloud to them. No matter what grade you have been teaching, many of the incidents Phillip Done recounted in book ring so true! This may be a perfect gift for future student teachers --- especially if you put a bookmark in the part where Phillip Done explains the four types of teacher looks that all future teachers should master. Thank you, thank you for a terrific reminder, that despite all the problems and aggravations that come with teaching, there is an abundance of incredible joy with one of the greatest jobs in the world. Share this with your fellow teachers. Start staff meetings out with excerpts and then share a related memory. I'm sure it will bring you closer to your teammates and relieve tensions.
