Book Basket Labels



Hey Bloggers! I recently posted about my quest to Lexile level all of my books in my classroom library. Well, I have made it through one rubbermaid bin! So, I took a break and made some new labels for all of my baskets. I made a set for lexile levels and a set for my "themed" baskets. If you would like to grab your free copies head on over to my TPT store. If you like them I would love to get some feedback on TPT!! Thanks and enjoy!

To Lexile or not to Lexile!



So, I have been knee deep in books for the past few days! I have every book I own and I am tackling the task of Lexile Leveling each and every one of them!! I thought I had this licked a few years ago when I went ahead and found the Reading Counts level for each of them!!



So, now that I am right in the middle of all this, I am wondering-



How do you organize your books in your classroom?



I have always had them by RC levels with a few baskets of series, authors, etc. I am leaning towards using Lexile Levels as my main baskets (thank you ELA Common Core Standards!) and then keeping my special baskets and adding non-fiction in the mix.



What do you think? I would love to hear from all you blogtastic teachers out there!!! And, hey by the way, while you are here go ahead and click on that little followers tab so I can have my first giveaway!!
