My current group of students and my future students will benefit from book bins because each student will have their own designated book bin. Their book bins will be used to house literature they have chosen from our school library and class library. This would help to make the books they chose easily accessible and allow them more time to read stories they want to during personal time. “The more that you read, the more things you will know, the more that you learn, the more places you'll go,” (Dr Seuss). I love reading and I want to instill that in my students. Books have allowed my students to travel to different parts of the world, learn how to use their imagination, and has introduced them to different types of book genres. Through stories my students have learned to be creative and they have also learned something that they did not know before. My students desperately need books bins to store the books they enjoy. They would benefit from learning about responsibility and organization by having book bins.
