Devon and I worked together to sort and review our books. We donated books that were outdated, or books that no longer felt relevant to our students. We also sat and reflected about the perspective and voices we are lacking in our classroom library. We researched some new and exciting titles in hopes that our library can showcase more voices. We also talked about a library bucket rotation system.
In the fall we hope to work with library to look at titles and see what else might be good to order. We also want to collaborate with library in the fall and discuss a book rotation system so students have access to lots more books in the classroom and hope that this might create a buzz and some extra excitement around reading. Our new readers are changing and we need to change with them.
