Good luck!

I worked with second grade in an afterschool program. Be prepared for them to test you. If you fail they will run the class. Just tell you self if you have a student that is testing you “they are 8 you are 20(or whatever)” helps you keep in control. You also have to deal with “I don’t want to be her friend” then five minutes later they are friends. and other petty things.

About teaching of what? English?

If yes, I recommend you ‘The practice of English Language Teaching’ written by Jeremy Harmer 🙂
