The students have been able to use the bookshelves almost every day! They love seeing the book bins displayed. It makes it so much easier for them to grab interest books and leveled books. The kids come into class in the morning and often ask when they can change books, as they are eager to explore all of the books on the shelves! It has been such a joy see their love of reading come alive. You have allowed the students to choose book that they can read with their reading buddies and that might be my favorite part! They are getting to share their love of reading with the kindergarteners. \r\nMoving forward I know your contribution to our classroom will be loved for years to come.
