The books have all arrived and we've added them to our class library. Immediately one of our MLL students noted that there was a new section in our class library titled \"Libros en EspaƱol\" full of the books from this program as well as some that we've found in Little Free Libraries. For the first part of independent reading the student looked through all the books and my heart positively burst.\r\n\r\nNow that a week or so has passed, some of our exited ELs have picked up the new books. I love seeing our students branching out with their independent reading to try something new. It has become an automatic response now that when we have class they immediately grab their books and dive in without the common moaning and groaning. \r\n\r\nThe introduction of this literature has made the room and classroom climate feel more welcoming and supportive.
