Classroom
Library:   

        Another
one of my favorite areas in my classroom is the “Classroom Library”. I love books!
All kinds of books: picture books, chapter books, books in a series,
biographies, mysteries, etc.                                      It’s important to make your classroom
library an inviting place where students want to visit and read!  Since I was a student that didn’t like to
read, it is so important for me to “hook” my students with good books.  That being said I have to know my books and
have them organized to be able to find my books.  I organize my books by author’s last
name.  I used paint sticks and painted
them.  Then I placed a letter on the end
and glazed over it.  This helps my class
librarians put up the books.
 

I
also have a comfy spot~ the black pleather coach.  I love it because it wipes off very
easily.  I have cards that are labeled with
different topics to mark my picture book areas. 
This makes it much easier when looking for a content book for a
lesson.  (Some topics are: Weather, Rocks
and Minerals, History, Biographies, Inventions, Animals, Insects, Economics)
