What I love most about our new classroom library is there are now books for all the different leveled readers in my classroom. We may even start a book club in the second part of the school year since they love reading the chapter books so much.

We learned about the life cycle of an oak tree from the fun book, Acorn Was a Little Wild, and compared it to the life cycle of a squash in another book in our library. Students laughed through I Cannot Draw a Horse and had a chance to practice drawing many of the characters in the book using the author's website as a guide.
