I didn’t have a classroom library until my 6th year of teaching when I was hired at my new school and inherited books from the teachers whom I replaced. Even at that, during years 7 and 8 (year 8 was last year), my classroom library was more of a #classroomdecor piece than anything else. Last year, I studied choice reading for my secondary students, and it was a major success! So I decided it was time to put some ❤️ into my classroom library. With the help of my husband (a hs history teacher), I added SO many books to my classroom bookshelves this summer (ALL of the top ones on my initial wish list), and I did so REALLY inexpensively. Most books were under $2 and a lot were free! I wrote an article about our bookish adventures, so check it out if you’re looking to build your classroom library inexpensively. #linkinbio Where do you find inexpensive books? (Disclaimer: My students still were 💯% awesome critical thinkers when I didn’t have a functional classroom library.)
