This ultimate library bundle is great for classroom OR school libraries. While I'm currently a fifth-year school librarian, many of the resources I created are things I would have used in my own classroom library as an elementary teacher for 18 years.

Description
This is a popular poetry activity where students use books in the library or classroom library to stack books into an arrangement that can be read like a poem from top to bottom. Since I’m in the school library it wasn’t very convenient to remove lots of books from the shelves, and many of the books’ spines are covered in labels which partially hide the title. Thus, I created these titles for students to be able to maneuver easily at a table without disrupting circulation of actual books. Great for POETRY UNITS or APRIL - NATIONAL POETRY MONTH & SCHOOL LIBRARY MONTH!
