If so, do you document small notes on each book to remember them when conferencing with students?
If not, do you plan to? Do you ever run into trouble because you’re not familiar with a particular book a student is reading?

I’ve read all the books in my classroom library. If I haven’t, I won’t put the book on the shelf. It’s an easy way of doing quality and “safety” control at the same time.

I’ve read the majority. Usually talking to the student jogs my memory, but I also have a goodreads account where I keep reviews of books.

I like to try and read things my students are reading, or that they might be interested in. It makes recommending things much easier.

No, but primarily because I just had a huge sum of books donated by a 3rd grade teacher and my mom who gave a ton of cool science stuff…
