First up, 5th grade teacher Colby Sharp shares the book he will be reading aloud with his students to begin the year.
Jillian Heise is a K-5 Library/Media Teacher (and #ClassroomBookADay creator) and has a great batch of books well suited to the beginning of the year.
And some random K-3 school librarian in Michigan has also made some posts with books to begin the school year.
