I do not yet have my own classroom, but I would dearly love to set up my home library as you have done. I am especially interested in the 6 traits library, as creative writing in the classrooms here is not given the time it deserves. What are the specific traits you have focused on, and what are your favorite books for each trait? I'd love an excuse to find more books!
I am sorry I am getting back to you so late. Thank you for your wonderful comment. We focus on ideas, organization, word choice, conventions, sentence fluency, and voice. Most of my books are in the first 3. You can look at any book and see where the writer excels. For example all of the Fancy Nancy are great for word choice. I love Harold and the Purple Crayon and The Squiggle for ideas and using details in writing. I hope this helps and happy book hunting!
Smiles,
Megan
