Fifth Grade Library

I've been trolling D.I., Savers, and garage sales lately for books I can use to stock my fifth grade classroom library. I've collected quite a few that fall under the category of "oldie-but-goodies" (or more likely: "things-Jayme-vaguely-remembers-reading-and-they-only-cost-a-dollar"). Unsurprisingly, the more recent books that are popular with kids haven't been designated to many thrift stores. Likewise, finding firsts in a series can be pretty difficult unless you go online (which I have, much to my wallet's chagrin). I've been soliciting donations/bargains on craigslist, freecycle, and facebook, but I wanted to keep track of the books I want most. Crossed out numbers are books I've managed to find.
