I FINALLY
got my classroom library organized this year - Yes, I’m aware that we are in
the 12th week of school, but this was a BIG project that I never finished
during pre-planning - everyone has one. I've had basket labels for a few
years that I have used, but I had new labels to create, tag to place on the new books, and
bins to find that didn’t cost a fortune! THANK YOU Dollar Tree for the
Christmas bins you just put on the shelves! Also, a BIG thanks to the parents volunteers
who helped with some of the organizing.
I have a variety of bins that I have collected through the years, but the eclectic mix makes it more interesting (I think), and the different sizes holds some books better. |
They are mostly non-fiction because I teach math and science. |
These are some of the basket labels I use to organize my books in the bins. |
In case you’re
wondering, my books aren’t leveled, well, for many reasons. ***This may offend -WARNING*** I HATE how every book in a school is labeled with a reading level. I
HATE when a student says “I can’t check that out because it’s not my level,”
even when it is a topic that are interested in. Students need/want to read
about topics they want to learn about, and if the book is a level or two away from "their level,” ... breathe ... IT WILL BE OKAY, especially if it is a non-fiction book! End rant... :)
These are the book labels that match the book bin tags. This makes it easier for EVERYONE to
return and organize the book. I now have a folder that holds extra book labels.
This prevents the problem of getting new books (bought or donated) and not putting
them out until they get a label (at my pace this could take week... let’s be
honest, months). Always having labels, puts the book the she shelf ASAP! I print them on sticky mailing labels that are 2 5/8" x 1" with 30 labels on a page.
These are the ones I bought from the Dollar Tree and spray painted them white. |
These are the sticky mailing labels I put on every book. |
Hi there! I was interested in an older post on Word Work using the "Words Their Way" materials. I was interested in the 300 page complete set. Is this a project you are still working on? It looks great and I am excited about the whole thing? Could you please let me know? Thanks!! Love Love Love your stuff!!
