Classroom Library

I feel like this is really my first BIG post. It has been a few days since I have been blogging (on my own site anyway) so here it is.....

I have been trying to rejuvenate my classroom library and make it just perfect for my little firsties! Of course I do the 5 finger rule and just right books lessons at the beginning of the year but as we all know the majority of the time kids just aren't that great at choosing books that are right for them. 

In my classroom I have a section of my library that is organized by genre/theme and another smaller section that is organized by level. When choosing books I tell kids that they may have 3 books from the general classroom library but that they must also choose 3 books from the basket that I assign them to. This way they always have books that are at their level while still in control of making their own reading choices!

This week I worked on creating new basket labels and new sticky labels for my books! I hope that you find them useful. I am going to post the PDF and the word document. This way if you need to revise them in anyway to make them usable for your classroom you can! Happy blogging!
