Each day, students in my first grade class are allowed to choose a book to take home from our classroom library in their "Travel Bag." I purchase most of the books with my own money, and many books never make it back to school. (That's ok...they are usually left at the homes where kids need books the most!) The ones that do come back are sometimes a bit worse condition from traveling back and forth.
Books last years longer when they are covered with Contact Paper! It takes time to cover them, but it's well worth it. However, the cost of contact paper gets to be expensive...sometimes as much as the books themselves! I have a large stack of books that I just bought, and would like to cover them before handing them over to the kids. My students have spotted some favorite titles-Elephant and Piggie books, Bob Books and Star Wars readers, among others-and they keep asking when they can take the books home.
In our classroom, we have tile floors. During reading time, students are allowed to choose where they would like to read. We are hoping to get a rug for our classroom floor where students would be comfortable while reading. They love to sprawl out while enjoying their books, and they would be much more comfortable on a carpet.
Thank you for helping our kids enjoy reading!
