This review is from: Building the Primary Classroom: A Complete Guide to Teaching and Learning (Paperback)
This "must have" resource is a wonderful summary of everything that (hopefully) you learned in undergraduate school. Chapters include all areas of the curriculum. I recommend this book for ALL preservice teachers as well as veterans who want to do some individual professional development.
Additionally, Building the Primary Classroom is a "must have" for teachers who are pursuing National Board Certification.

This review is from: Building the Primary Classroom: A Complete Guide to Teaching and Learning (Paperback)
I was able to get a new perspective on teaching after reading this. I have been teaching for 12 years and this book helped me change the way I teach. We are guiding and facilitating a family of learners. This book could be the primary teacher's bible!
