Product Information

I started the first day of school with one book in each place they could sit. I use flexible seating, so when they enter the room, they can choose the place to sit. Similar to plastic bags, canvas bags are easy to store in small places, easily transported, YET considerably more durable. If you have considered using canvas or fabric bags, you’ll want to add a Scotch Guard or Waterproof Spray to the bags, so they can be easily cleaned or washed. Additionally, you may want to think about bed bugs and lives – this matters in some schools more than others. You can throw these bags in the washer to prepare them for a new set of users at the end of each quarter, semester, or summer. Book Bins: Wrapping-Up The first step is to collect as many books as you can afford and categorize them based on how you think they will be attractive to your students. The number of books you have will depend on the amount of space you have designated for the library in your classroom. Remember, you can classify many more books than you display and change them every semester or more often. All green bin collections in Liverpool must be paid for.

Best for: This bin is suitable for any classroom because of the dividers. It may also be useful for social distancing. If you need larger bins for heavy books or binders, try these from Lakeshore Learning. Choose from half a dozen colors, or buy a set of six with one of each hue. This is like a designer book bin that resembles hand-stitched burlap. It is not burlap, so you can write directly on the front in the cute label frame and wipe it off when you want to change the labeling. It’s a little wider than other bins with dimensions of 5 x 8 x 11 inches and is recommended for larger books. When you don’t need it, you can fold it flat for storage. While the burlap design is attractive, it does not provide color-coding unless you color code the label. My verdictYou may choose to group easy readers, picture books, chapter books, graphic encyclopedias, biographies, STEM-related topics, the author or genre. Many teachers prefer not to categorize by reading level because it could limit a child’s selection. If they choose an interesting book above their current reading level, they may try harder to improve.

Once you have your books grouped in categories, make a list of each category and choose a symbol. This symbol relates to the bin where it is kept. For example, the line drawing of a star, flower or animal are good symbols. You may want to use a color-coded method, especially if you have just bought several sets of different colored bins. Secondly, after a week or two of watching what your students read, you can start to display books that you know will interest them. For example, you may want to emphasize one or several historical figures, robotics or fiction chapter books. If the promoted book changes every other day, children may look forward to what comes next. Have a listening center. This is a fun and private way for children to learn to read as well as study a topic. Make sure you have a few audiobooks of the hard copies in the library, so children can read along. With sound splitters, several children can listen to the same book.This is best for office use or teacher’s files. It may also be a useful cardboard book bin for middle or high school but is not recommended for the younger children unless you want to replace it every year. It won’t stand up to rough usage for long. Classroom libraries initially take a lot of time, thought, planning and attention to get set up. Once you have the books in a system, it’s not very difficult to keep it going and students can help. Your main jobs will be to oversee the organization, notice which books are popular and procure books. I hope my research and experience has helped make it easier for you.
