All this blogging stuff is very new to me. But I am very happy to learn. I look at everything that I do in a classroom can be an idea of how I might conduct my class in the future. I am not very good with discussing my opinions on the internet. But I am going to “challenge” myself to get out of that box.
I am especially having fun looking up websites to help me start to build my classroom library. Even though I do not have any kids, I already have several books that are my favorite that I share with my Nieces and Nephews. They have actually asked me if they can borrow a book in the past.
One website that I found to be very useful is, http://www.kidsreads.com/authors/authors.asp
You can look up the authors by their last name and then they provide a brief history on them. On the left side of the screen, they provide a list of book(s) that particular author has written. You then can click on one of the books and it will redirect you to a link that will provide you with information such as: the ISBN number, age group for the book and the number of pages in that book.
I especially like how you can look up books and find the age group that they are good for as well as the ISBN numbers so you can look online for competitive pricing, to help build my future classroom library. You can also look up books that are on movies, get reviews and books that are coming out soon.
I like this site so much; I have already added it to my favorites.

I wrote about that same site on my blog too. I found that to be my favorite as well because the site was so inviting.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to know that someone else agrees with me.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI think It's great that you read with your nieces and nephews. You might not think they will remember but they will. I have a small library at home with mostly the Disney collection and the Dr. Suess books. I have collected them over the years for my kids. They are growing and still love to read them. I saw that web site and I think it's a great resource.
