Classroom Library Labels

If you are like me you are a collector of children's books. Sometimes I think I have way too many, but yet I continue to buy buy buy! I am running out of room to house my books!!! I am lucky to have built in storage shelves in my classroom to store many of my books.

So, I recently jazzed up my classroom library with new library labels I created. Here are some pics of my classroom library:

I have made these library labels in various colors and themes. I have included 220 labels. These labels are a great way to spice up your classroom library. It is also a great way to keep your library neat and organized.

I have also created book stickers to go on each individual book. These book stickers match up to each and every classroom library label. My Kindergarteners have no problem locating the correct bin books go in. I start the school year off by going over the importance of taking care of books and teach the students how to put books back in their proper place. I tell my students, "Every book has a place". They actually take pride in knowing how to manage our classroom library.

Check these classroom library labels out by clicking on any of the pictures. Don't see a color or theme you are looking for? NO PROBLEM- Just email me your request and I will do by best.

The following colors/themes are available in my TPT store:

The last 26 Days of Kindergarten- "A" Day

Today we started our countdown of the last 26 days of Kindergarten. Today was "A" day- Art day. We read the book, The Night Before Kindergarten and painted our own summer vacation plans. At the end of the day, the entire Kindergarten got together to color together in the hall- A day was a hit!

Tomorrow is "B" Day- Bubble day!

Kindergarten Informational Non-Fiction Report Writing & FREEBIE offer

Twice a year my Kindergarteners conduct research on animals and write their own animal report. I give my class a choice for the first animal report; Arctic, farm, jungle, or zoo. This year my kiddos chose arctic animals for their first report. Then, in the spring we conduct research on ocean animals.

Report Example: Arctic Animals

I like to use the same format for both reports. When it comes to doing their spring report on ocean animals they are a pro at it and know just what to do! I created report writing templates for my students to use when completing their reports. They have so much fun while doing so and learn a ton of information!

Report Example: Ocean Animals

Non-fiction report writing has motivated my students to want to learn more and more facts about various animals. My students are very proud of their reports and take great ownership in them.

The following are the animal report writing units I have created:

I have also bundled all of these units:
