Every day, we begin our morning with independent reading time. Student borrow books from the library for home and in class reading, but my library cannot keep up with them! These new books will expand their selections drastically and will make their reading time more useful and rewarding for all students. These books will be a highlight of our classroom collection. Nothing brings me greater joy than watching my students open their books for a quick read in the lunch line, between classes, or while waiting for bus dismissal. We use our classroom library every day, multiple times a day. Students always ask me to visit our library so they can take a book home for more personal reading, and they are quickly devouring and loving the books our school has to offer. My classroom library currently does not have enough to offer them. These books will boost their selection and encourage them to keep reading both in the classroom and at home.
