I am a pre-service teacher, in my senior year- just going into my student teaching. (Yipee!) One thing that many veteran teachers have told me is that I should start picking up classroom materials here and there- so that I don't have to dish out so much cash for my first year of teaching. Specifically books and classroom decorations.

My question is about the classroom library. I will be teaching Elementary Education but unsure of which grade- Anyone know of any book lists of some books that make up a balanced literacy classroom?

I have actually been picking up a lot of Caldecott and Newberry books for VERY cheap (1.00 or less! SWEET) in order to have multiple copies for my classroom. But I pck up books that I think are interesting.

Any suggestions of books that you think I SHOULD have? (And grade-specific is ok!)

Deedee/SD I pick up a lot of my library books from 2nd hand stores. Rummage/Yard sales work too, but that takes more effort.

Picking up award winner books is the right start since you don't know what level as well. Scholastic book clubs is another great way to build your library after beginning to teach
