As I buy books for my own son, I'm always looking for books that have different genders & races in them to expose him from a young age!  

(This is the most recent book we bought!)]]> 2021-07-12 18:26:12 UTC https://padlet.com/paigea5/4m36x5js6zqwvv6e/wish/1646242431 paigea5 https://padlet.com/paigea5/4m36x5js6zqwvv6e/wish/1646242551  "Classroom libraries should include a minimum of 300 titles and up to 1,000 books or more." My first thoughts after reading this- "YES! An excuse to buy more books!"]]> 2021-07-12 18:26:20 UTC https://padlet.com/paigea5/4m36x5js6zqwvv6e/wish/1646242551 paigea5 https://padlet.com/paigea5/4m36x5js6zqwvv6e/wish/1646242660 My books are organized in labeled bins by author\topic\genre\series. I also have a large book shelf full of picture books and chapter books that aren't organized any certain way. I saw on social media that a teacher bought a library book scanner to let her students borrow books from her and it keeps track of them in a free app. I want to do that now! :)]]> 2021-07-12 18:26:28 UTC https://padlet.com/paigea5/4m36x5js6zqwvv6e/wish/1646242660 paigea5 https://padlet.com/paigea5/4m36x5js6zqwvv6e/wish/1646242762 I think this is the topic I need to focus on the most. I didn't really think about replacing books every once in a while. I do tend to get rid of books once they are beyond repair but I need to think about buying a new copy after. Also, I've been handed down so many nonfiction books but I need to look at how relevant these books are and consider if my kids even pick them up. ]]> 2021-07-12 18:26:34 UTC https://padlet.com/paigea5/4m36x5js6zqwvv6e/wish/1646242762
