Every morning we start our day off by silent reading. This helps my students settle down and prepare their brains for the day ahead of them. They really enjoy when they get to read for joy. However, their joy is starting to fizzle down due to the lack of available books. Our classroom library is very limited and dated. The books are no longer relevant or exciting to the students. The books are also falling apart. I am a 2nd year teacher. I have tried to collect and purchase new and exciting books when I can, but it is very hard. My students deserve to be surrounded by new and exciting books. They are so excited to read and learn to read better, I don't want anything to take that feeling away. I want to add to that positive look on reading, not be a reason it diminishes.
