I am currently starting my fourth year of teaching. I will be teaching 1st grade and I do not have a completed classroom library provided for me. I researched how to start one and quickly realized that teachers usually buy the books themselves and/or add over time. I would like to send books home for my young students to read on a daily basis. In the mean time they will have access to some classroom books and library books that they are allowed to pick on their own. However, I would like to send home books that are on their reading level to help them improve their literacy. Please help us eager students! :) A BIG thank you in advance, Our class in Austin, Texas
