How convenient is it for students to be able to find books right in your own classroom library? How about this scenario......Celebrating Dr. Seuss week at school and ALL the Seuss books from the media center are checked out. BUT YOU have your own Dr. Seuss classroom collection with a copy of The Butter Battle Book. Kids love this book...... Gotta have~~~~http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Butter_Battle_Book
I have been working on a classroom library myself. I have bought books at garage sales, thrift shops, Goodwill and the Salvation Army stores. You can find great titles at bargain price and save. Not only books but children's music, too! I recently bought a RAFFI CD for $1.99. The electronic store (BB won't mention) down the road was selling the same CD for $12.99. BARGAIN!!! http://www.raffinews.com/
