My classroom library is a place in the classroom where my students find comfort and joy. I am currently a first year kindergarten teacher who looking to build her classroom library. These books will enrich my students' learning experience by getting them to engage with various types of text. The earlier children are exposed to a multitude of books, the more likely they are to find something they will want to engage with, especially as early readers.
With these new books, my students will have the opportunity to engage with books at their reading level or interest.
It has been incredible to see how my students came in, barely knowing their letter sounds, and now read entire books. I want to be able to put more books in their hands and continue to watch children grow academically and emotionally through reading.
