Many teachers began their new school year by reading Pete the Cat-Rocking in My School Shoes.

In this book, Pete takes a ride on the school bus and heads off to a new year in school. 

He moves through his school day getting to know places like his classroom, the lunch room, the playground, and best of all-the LIBRARY! 

Watch Pete the Cat videos, print out activities, and more-Harper Collins Kids

Keep on reading because it's all good.

A Fine, Fine School

Author: Sharon Creech

Illustrator: Harry Bliss

Publisher: Harper Collins

Imagine loving school so much that you would be willing to give up your weekends, summers, and holidays just to go to school and learn more. Principal Keene is just this kind of principal. He is so proud of his hard working students that he opens the school all year but even students who love to learn need a little break from school. Sometimes, it is the things we learn when we are not in school that are just as important. Read this wonderful book to learn how Tillie helps Principal Keene learn a lesson of his own. A terrific book to read to kick off a new school year.
