My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy! I read on the carpet to them and they read independently! Every student book that is placed in our class library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books and seating (bean bag chairs) have been chosen with my students in mind. I have watched them the past few weeks of school read titles similar to these and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time in a nice comfortable and inviting space. These books will continue to enhance and encourage independent reading in a print-rich environment that I will continue to foster. Additionally, having a nice comfortable space in our classroom where students' can tune out distractions and delve into their reading is paramount to building imaginative and innovative lifelong thinkers and learners.
