Book leveling...finished

We will be incorporating a balanced literacy program into curriculum this year.  The whole idea is awesome.  The practice is still a little confusing and kind of scary.  I know that it will all work out as things do, but the unknown does make one a tad bit nervous.  Or at least me!  My sister in law and I completed leveling my books with a level it app and the scholastic website.  I was amazed at how many books I had, but at the same time, it was unsettling at the lack of books that I did not have.  I know that I have not been teaching long.  However, having a dynamic classroom library is important. Anyways, we completed the task and my bins are done.  I will take a shot of my classroom when it is decorated.
P.S.  My leveling is no where near the awesomeness of some of my colleagues.
