These books will help to expand our classroom library. I'm a fairly new teacher and most of the books in my classroom library consist of older, hand-me-down books from other teachers or thrift stores. I would love to be able to offer my students up-to-date titles that they will love reading. Our students were learning virtually for nearly a year and many did not have books at home to read. They were primarily reading books on online platforms. For a student who is learning to read and learning to love reading, this format is just not the same as having a book in your hand. Now that they are back in the classroom, I want to be able to provide them with many options for books to read in our classroom!
