Chicken Soup for the Teacher's Soul


This one is without a doubt a no-brainer: Chicken Soup for the Teacher's Soul: Stories to Open the Hearts and Rekindle the Spirits of Educators. Ever since it was first introduced, the Chicken Soup series, no matter what the topic, has been an uplifting choice. Anytime you're feeling down-and-out, and you need a quick professional pick-me-up, this volume will do it for you. I find this is a good book to keep on my desk at school, and when the students are doing their sustained silent reading (SSR), I can read an entry or two at the same time. When they see you leisure reading, hopefully they are inspired to read even more. What's good about using a book like this for SSR is that the entries are short, so time doesn't get away from you, and if you get interrupted, you can easily pick up where you left off. Try it! You can acquire this book at amazon at the following link: Chicken Soup for the Teacher's Soul.
