Our school has been renovated!! I am re-organizing my classroom library to make books easier to find for my wonderful incoming firsties!!

We love reading in first grade!!

This project will make it easy to sort books by categories into smaller buckets, easy for students to grab and go when they are ready to read!!

My classroom is beautiful with several shelves waiting to be filled with books of all topics. This project will make book choosing easy and bright for my students, while also making it easy to keep them organized all year long!!
