When I taught second grade in the beginning of my career, I collected a few books in the Miss Malarkey series. Judy Finchler does not disappoint in these additional titles. I love this one about the angst teachers feel when leaving their students with a substitute. I've definitely been there!

I may read this one aloud this year about Miss Malarkey's quest to match each student with at least one can't-put-it-down title. This is my challenge that I happily take on each year!

This one would be great for easing students into the reality that although their teacher is getting married, they will still be loved and cared for.

I also have a collection of Black Lagoon titles, but this one was new to me. Now that we have so much more technology in our school, this would be a great addition. I am thinking it would provide a good comparison to Goodnight, Ipad! as well.

Similar in theme, this one is about the mysteries of music...
