When to update book bins?

by Angela

When do you find is a good time for your kids to go 'book-shopping' aka find good fit books to store in book bins?


Right now I'm using their center time but I'd rather have them reading at that time and shopping another.


Just wondering what works for you.

by: Anonymous

For the teachers that allow their students to choose books, do you have them choose books on their level? Do you have these books set aside somewhere? I would like my students to take more ownership in the books they are reading but struggle with pointing them in the right direction.

by: Jennifer

My kids choose 3 books as part of our morning routine each day. These are kept on the corner of their desk until Daily 5 time. Each morning they can exchange the previous day's books or keep them to continue reading. This system has worked very well for me and my little friends. Having the kids choose books each day allows them to get "fresh" stories for each reading sessions and also they are not wasting their precious reading time shopping for new books. Hope this helps!

Hi,

My teammate and I have the kids pick out new books as part of their AM routine. Come in, get books, do morning work, etc...

This has worked out well for us.
