Classroom Library

I have a collection of science and geography books as well as a collection of about 100 National Geographic magazines on a bookcase in the back of my classroom. I started collecting these books about 5 years ago and have established a sizable collection that I enjoy sharing with my students. I encourage them to check books out to help with other class projects that they may be working on. When a students wants to check out a book they bring it to me and I put their name and the title of the book on an index card in my desk. I have found that most of my students enjoy using geography or science based themes for projects in both their English and theology classes. Ever once in a while students will bring books from home and donate them to th library. Last year one of my students from India brought back some books on the physical geography and culture of India.
