I LOVE seeing my students read. So I have collected all sorts of autobiographies, biographies, history nonfiction, science nonfiction, and historical fiction books for my students to read. My students are welcome to checkout books during seat work time in class and during the study hall time, too. I will show my students at the start of the school year how to check books out from our classroom library.
The following is an inventory of the classroom library books in the 7th & 8th Grade Social Studies Classroom. Students look through the list to see who, what, or where you want to learn about.
