I love peeking inside other classroom libraries! I pin them constantly on Pinterest and check out rooms every time I'm in another building. One of my new favorite blogs is having a linky party about classroom libraries. Come check it out!
Every teacher I talk with has different resources available and varying amount of books. I try not to get discouraged or too envious about HUGE libraries :) When I moved to first grade, I did inherit a lot of books and many were purchased by me. Books are ALWAYS on my wish list! I have also had help from DonorsChoose.org.
Here are my photos.... I do not have a "set library", but rather they are spread out around the room. I have a small room, so I keep the front half of the room open for large group instruction on the floor and if students want to do their work there.

I want to see your library, too! Link up and let me know that you stopped by! Only a few more hours until Spring Break... hurray!
I'm totally going to link up to this. Mine is pathetic, but it's my first year. I need new ideas. Thanks for the Pinterest suggestion!

Michele,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE YOUR LIBRARY!!!!! Sooooo many books! Your students (and anyone that walks into your room...) can see how much you value reading. LOVE IT!!!! I need to work on building up my non-fiction book collection. You have so many science and social studies books. I really like how your blue baskets stand out on the green shelf! : )
Thanks for linking up!
