Book Vending Machine Refill

My Students

My elementary students work hard in class. Their parents value education greatly but are often unable to support learning outside of the school day. They put their best foot forward and are inspired to do better.

Today's students will be the leaders of tomorrow; future doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, engineers, and software designers.

As a teacher, it is my job to prepare these students for careers that are not in existence yet. By giving my students opportunities inside and outside the classroom to grow and succeed, I can see that I am shaping the future of our great nation.

My Project

We got a great book vending machine through our DonorsChoose grant last school year. This year we are using that machine as a behavior incentive for students to earn books to take home to keep. As such, it is time to refill our vending machine. This project is for books at various levels so that all students can find something that they would enjoy reading from our new vending machine.

Every child deserves the chance to have books in their home.

Our book vending machine incentive is how we are going to get books into the hands of our students. There are chapter books for our more advanced readers and sight word books for our more novice readers to keep.
