Aside from brand new school supplies, I think the best part of a classroom is the library! I LOVE to pick out new books for my class! I love the Scholastic Book Order {you’re crazy if you don’t use it!}, I love finding deals on Amazon, and I even love picking up books from yard sales and library sales!

Another one of my faves stars little miss Molly Lou Melon. Again, this story is all about being yourself. I love this goofy little gal! There’s also a bunch more in the series now, too!
Now this next book, I can barely read aloud without cracking up! The Night I Followed the Dog cracks me up!
Walter the Farting Dog is hysterical BUT you probably need to wait till the end of the year to read this one when they’re a bit more mature to listen to the silliness! It’s a great summer-themed read-aloud!
And here’s my classic favorite book. I still get a little teary every time I read this one!
I love the book I Wanna Iguana! It’s a great book to discuss being persuasive! It’s written through a series of letters which is another great teaching point to slip in! The author has also written several follow up books, too!
If you’re looking to stretch those little minds a little further, grab the FREEBIE! To use, simply ask the kids to roll a die and complete the activity that corresponds to the number they land on!
Any books I should add to my must-reads? Leave a comment and let me know!
