Book Swap!!!

Posted on January 9, 2014 by erica.waddell

Okay…I’ve had a few parents ask about having a way for their children to get new books they haven’t read yet. So, after getting a few ideas from different parents and teachers, I’ve decided to do a Book Swap here in our class. We are going to have the “Book Swap” next Friday during School Store at 2:00 in the afternoon. Most kids don’t read a book more than once, so this is a gHave your children bring one or more books (in good condition) that they are willing to give to other student(s). These books should be at least on a second grade level; preferably chapter books. I thought we could try this and if it goes well, we can do it a few more times during the school year. This should be fun for the students!

Thanks so much!!!
