Most of you know that I am going to teach second grade in the Fall (first day of school is in a little over a month). I am so excited to start teaching, but as a first year teacher there are so many things to prepare for and buy. This week I all of a sudden felt this sudden urgency to start building my classroom library collection! I think the most important thing for a classroom is a personal library. It's nice because the school has a great library and I can also get books from the city libraries, however, there is nothing like a classroom with plenty of books for students to choose from at will. I feel like by having my own personal library collection it shows my students how important reading and books are to me. So I went to D.I. several times this week and have been able to get some fantastic books for dirt cheap! The books I bought range from .25 to 2.00. I sure was able to stock up! I got 120 books for about $50.00! It has gotten me so excited about teaching! If any of you bloggers out there (or your parents, friends, family, etc.) happen to go through your garage and find any boxes with old children's books you don't need I can help take them off your hands!
P.S. Thanks Blake for letting me splurge on the books :)
