My students carry 10-20 books with them every day during reading- it gets heavy and hard to manage. Book bins make it so much easier! The problem is that they start breaking after 3-4 years and I had to throw out almost all of my bins this year- it was time... I'm requesting six sets of Neon Connect & Store Book Bins to replace them. First grade is when reading really takes off! They are reading to themselves, reading to a partner, and reading to a teacher every day. They might also move to another classroom during this time for instruction on their level. Help my students lighten their load and be able to move around during reading more effectively with new book bins.
