Hi Yéssica ! I wanted to write you because I was doing this project with you. This project it was a great experience because we had the opportunity to create a library for our future class. I think we created this library as realistic as possible, we have been founding real budget and real prices for buy all materials as we need and also we found some solution to save budget and get materials on our own for example with a fair because nowadays save money it´s a very important point.
After the presentations, I discovered many activities and possibilities to create and carry out our libraries because all works was very good. Also with these presentations and some comments that our classmates said, we can improve our project.
In conclusion, this activity have been interesting, productive and useful for us because a English library in class is an important space because we have to encourage and motivate children to read and nowadays read english books is more important so definitely I encourage you to carry out this fantastic project and create your Englishlibraries with activities that motivate children to read.

Hello Yessica, I´m Jaime and after reading your post I have to say that I totally agree with your point of view and how you have shown the different stages of creating a classroom library.

One of the most important aspects that must be taking into account when a project of this dimension is being carried out is the economical one. As you said during your post, depending of the economic situation of the families whose children are studying at the school the budget for the library could be higher or lower, nevertheless it is also true that families would prefer to spend less money if it’s possible; For this reason I want to propose you some ideas that we find useful and affordable. The first idea that can be done is to ask students to create their own books, so that finally their books could form part of the library. Another interesting idea would be that each child could take a book from their houses and share it with the class during the year and by the time the course ends they would have their books back and the budget will be reduced.

I hope you liked my ideas and also that you and all of us could build our classroom library in the future.
