Gracie's New Class
Tara F. Mozee
Gracie isn't excited about the first day of school in her new class. In fact, she'd rather stay in her old class, with her old friends. Will Ms. Brown's challenge and a surprise new friend change Gracie's mind?
In her second Gracie story, author, teacher, and mom Tara F. Mozee uses the story of how strong-willed Gracie adjusts to a new classroom to share insightful strategies for helping young students succeed in new situations. Through a relatable and engaging story, Mrs. Mozee shows how setting goals and focusing on achieving them can help little ones develop confidence and overcome fears about going back to school and making new friends.
