Love, love, love this book!  A girl who writes a letter to her 2nd grade teacher.  She tells Miss Mitchell how she made school and learning special.  It ends as the girl prepares for her first classroom, hoping to be just like her favorite teacher.  This book struck a chord!  I loved 2nd grade and Mrs. Metzger, and I grew up to be a 2nd grade teacher.  I hope I made Mrs. M proud.  My daughter loved 2nd grade too.  Now she’s a teacher like Mrs. Puthoff, and her mom.  She’s in 3rd grade this year.  Maybe someday she’ll make it to 2nd.  I hope so!  There’s no place like 2nd grade!  This year as you meet new teachers, don’t forget the old ones.  You’ll make their day!
