Hi everyone! I'm Kristin, and I'll be teaching 5th grade this year. Since my primary focus in college was high school English, I am severely lacking books targeting that age. If anyone is clearing out a stash of books for 4-6th graders, I'd love to get some (or all) of them. I'd also love points if anyone is willing to part with them.

I'm in the process of moving , so most of my books are currently in storage (until the middle of next month). I'm hoping to list some of my teaching books and even high school books when I can.
My school is a lower income school, so funding for resources is limited. If anyone can help me out I'd be forever grateful!

Thanks in advance!
Kristin

Hi, I'm a substitute teacher from Colorado. I enjoy reading different genres but right now I am reading books about other cultures, and especially memoirs of other people's experiences with other countries or cultures. I am currently reading In the Land of Invisible Women by Qanta A. Ahmed, MD and this is a very good read.

I want to begin Chris Stewart's, Driving Over Lemons series next.

I am also a member of www.postcrossing.com and its a postcard trading site from around the world - many teachers sign up to use this for their classes, so I just thought I would mention it.

Hello, out there! Is anybody reading this? I am a retired teacher who just discovered this forum and would greatly appreciate "teacherly" discussion with others in the noble profession.

In my retirement years I work with ESL students and anyone who needs to be tutored gratis. Due to the "plague" I have had to become an online teacher, not quite as much to my liking, but whatever gets the job done.

Fellow teachers old and young, please talk to me!

Hoping to read your MANY replies soon,

Pi

Cleaning out my parents house about an hour SW of Charlottesville VA in early March. Have about 100 books in German that she brought over in the 1960s and about 200 on German topics and US political topics. Too many too even try to list and cannot store when we sell the house. Contact me and you can come get whatever you want. Maybe donate me a few points if you can.

I have connected with a few, but I know there must be more in the world of BM. I would love to connect with others :)

I'm studying to be a French teacher right now. I'm really interested in reading as much as I can about teaching methods and theory. I would love to hear of anyone with moochable books related to FL teaching, languages, French or general teaching that they recommmend. If you have any other books to recommend that aren't moochable, I'd like to hear about them too!

Merci!

I just thought I would post to the teacher list to see if there are any teachers out there. Since no one has posted in a while, I thought I would. I am going from a first grade to computer tech teacher in the fall. My students will be 5-8 years old. Anyone know of good books for ideas.

Hi fellow teachers! My name is Mel and I am a middle school English teacher. I read a lot of young adult novels. My favorite genres are mystery and historical fiction. I am currently reading the GONE series as well as The Mortal Instruments. I highly recommend both! I am also taking a class on implementing reading and writing workshop. Any tips or advice on implementing the workshop model would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, my name is Stephanie and I am studing as an early childhood education major. I want to teach third grade, but will gladly take any grade I can get when the time comes. My roommate is also an education major, who hopes to teach kindergarten. And I have a five year old. We are looking to build our library of children's books and even some "how to teach" books. Let me know if you have a selection of either of these, especially children's books! Thanks!

I'm a primary teacher here in NJ. I'm looking for others who might have books in their inventories related to teaching. Any one?

Hello!
I'm a toddler room teacher at a daycare and was wondering if anyone else works with young children as everyone else seems to be elementary teachers.
