Setting Up An Organized Classroom Library!

My students need storage bins for our classroom library. I want them to be able to independently choice just right books for their reading workshop time. Thanks.

My Students

I love kindergarten. I love watching children realize they can read. I spend a lot of time working on reading independence. I have a bright, colorful classroom. I want my classroom library to be a colorful, inviting place for children to learn to read.

I teach kindergarten.

My students come in fresh and excited to learn. Learning to read is always the goal the students come up with at the beginning of the year. My school is very transient which makes it so important to work very hard while we have them.

My Project

The storage bins will be used to organize the books in the classroom library. I want the children to be able to choose just right books independently. To be able to choose books that are good for them, it needs to be organized. With these bins, I will be able to sort the books by reading level and genre.

The earlier the students learn to choose their own books, the sooner they we learn to independently read.

With these book bins, the students will be able to easily find and return books to the class library. Learning to read is the outcome of an organized classroom library!
