Review: Good read with useful information - This book was written for a time like this when teachers have to be revisiting procedures ever so often.
Review: Great for new and veteran teachers alike! - This book lays out the foundation of using Responsive Classroom. The plans are all there and you could follow them closely or take some of the ideals and practices and blend them in with work you already do. This book was recommended to me by a colleague who says she will never NOT use it at the start of the year. It has made my initial planning a lot more intentional and I am excited to see how it goes!

*by H***T on September 3, 2023*

I bought this book for one of my classes, and it will be a book that I will pull out every year to ensure that I am not forgetting anything within the first few weeks of school. I bought it used, and it came as if it were brand new! Definitely recommend if you want to save a couple bucks!
