My students love to explore our classroom environment all day, and the library area is one of their favorite areas. As a teacher, I believe books are extremely important for children to become successful in life. From an early age, children should have access to plenty of books to understand the world around them. By utilizing books, children acquire concepts of different topics, gain knowledge about prints, and develop academically as well as emotionally. Unfortunately, more than 90% of my students are English Language Learners who come from low‑income households where they have few opportunities to own books. My students like to enjoy books with which they can identify such as books from different cultures, languages, and abilities. My young students also like to explore books about human body, health, plants, animals, weather, seasons, earth, and the environment to learn the world around them. Students should have a chance to explore more books on their own for all the studies that we cover from the Creative Curriculum. But, the few books that are provided to our classroom are not enough for our 50 preschoolers to explore. In addition, most of the parents don't have the time or transportation to take their children to a public library to borrow books. When our classroom has enough books for children to access a variety of books on their own, my students will feel comfortable and accepted in their classroom environment. They will develop responsibility by taking care of books and learn to appreciate books. By having a chance to explore plenty of books, my students will enhance independence, develop print knowledge, increase positive interactions among each other, and build their social emotional understanding.
