It’s that time again – school is back in session. At least for some of us.
In our house, we’re making sure we have all the materials required for the first half of the year, arranging our school room, and deciding which activities to join along with other homeschoolers. It’s an exciting time!
So, as a lead-up to the school year, I thought I’d curate a list of teacher and school-themed reads. It’s a request I’ve seen often enough, I decided to create a list of my own and make it available for print for my readers! Many of the titles below are historical, but there’s some contemporary and even suspense titles mixed in there.

*NOTE: If an author has two last names, they are alphabetized by their second last name.
