Though my students are unique and have different strengths, they have one thing in common: they love to read. The diverse set of books that I chose to add to my classroom library will make a difference in my students' learning in that my students will have different options of book titles that they are interested in. The titles I chose offer a variety of themes based on my students' interests as well as a range of reading levels to promote lifelong readers. I chose from Dr. Seuss to Harry Potter because I have a wonderful, diverse group of students reading at different levels. My goal is for my classroom library to be safe and welcoming where students can read a book of their choice independently and create experiences that will strive them to become lifelong learners. Though I like challenging my students, when it comes to choosing an independent reading book, I promote a safe environment in the library where each student feels comfortable reading at their own pace, at their own level. Some of the books I chose also include growth mindset books as this is an ongoing integration in my classroom that has helped develop responsible students with a positive mindset and a drive to overcome challenges.
