How can I organize my classroom library?
I need a way to organize my classroom library instead of just putting the books on the shelf like a traditional library.
I have children picture books, first step reader, and paper back chapter books. There are not text books to organize.

i help a teacher friend organize her classroom several times a year. We use plastic shoeboxes without the lids. We put them on the shelf and put the books in them.
Children's books are usually about teaching a lesson. Sort by category...friendship, manners, safety, kindness, chores, pets, self esteem, growing up, parents/relatives, etc., and group them together. Then if you have a series by a certain author or character, group these together.
Get some colored dot stickers to put on the front left corner or spine and when they are returned to the shelf, they go in the area (preferably a bin) with that same color dot.
Sorting these books will be a good teaching lesson for the kids as they will grow up and have to know how to sort and organize. Putting them back in the proper place is an excellent lesson.
Hi
Thank you for teaching young minds! I have many friends that are teachers and they are always looking for creative ways to set up their reading nook. I don't know how much floor space you have; so tried not to monopolize that.
You could use bins and organize by level. Or, I used to get a bunch of crates and zip tie them together into shelves. It worked so well and was so inexpensive (as long as you can find the crates).
