Over the past few weeks, I've done some more book shopping. Back near the beginning of the year, the students helped to re-organize our classroom library and helped me to figure out what kinds of books we needed more of. That way, when I was ordering books online, or out at McNally Robinson, I knew what I needed to buy - namely, more books on poetry, space, holidays, nature, science, fairy tales, Math, as well as graphic novels.
After getting the books ready to put in the library over the past couple of weeks, today was the day the students could start reading them - here is what we had for new books:
I then randomly chose students, one at a time, to come up and choose a book to start reading (to avoid a stampede!). Once the 24 students each picked a book, I put the rest into our library, which is now nicely stocked! In my nine years of teaching, this is easily the best classroom library that I've ever had - it's so exciting to see something interesting available for all of the students on a given day, no matter what genre they might feel like reading!
