I am a first year teacher... I know very little about 4
Block and my school seems to not have any resource books
on it.

I just went to my classroom for the first time today and
inherited a huge classroom library. It was organized
alphabetically by author.

I haven't worked in a school that uses the 4 block
method. Most classrooms I have been in have their
libraries organized using the Guided Reading (fontus and
pinelle) levels.

How do you organize your 4 block classroom library?

fiction books arranged by subject. Then I have my special

Wolf, Petunia)....See More

right" books. I don't want the kids to feel limited to a
certain level. This might be easier for me too since by 4th
grade the kids are more in tune with what they find too easy
or diffi...See More

I do not level books either. Again, by genre and author. I do have some baskets
with "easier" and "harder" books... particularly where series are involved. I have
about 4 baskets of series, ranging from Nate the Great to Redwall. I keep them
sorted by general level.

If I have a lot of a specific kind o...See More
