[CPSLibraries] Book Fair Advice

[Christina Ashforth]

Having teachers make class wish list is a great incentive for teachers but
doing it the way Scholastic suggests is a pain!  Parents who come will buy
books for teachers if it's easy.

 

I have always made a teacher/classroom wish list sheet.  Then attach it to
paper bags which I place on the tops on the book fair shelves.  (I will
attach the forms that I use.)

Parents look for teacher's names, find books, purchase them, cross them off
the list and drop them in the bag for that teacher.  When the book fair is
over, I staple the bags closed and have students drop them off for teachers!


( If a book is not bought for a teacher, I make sure that they get at least
one book.  :-) )

Hello!

 

I will be helping to run a book fair and I have not done this before.  I was
wondering if anyone had tricks or ideas for me.  Thanks!
