My Project

I acquired an additional school this year that has a book vending machine. The students love choosing a book from the machine with tokens that they earn from the teachers and staff. The whole book vending machine process is new to me, but I'm learning as the year goes on. Through a different project, I received some fantastic picture books for my early readers.

I now need some chapter book options to include in the book vending machine.

I want to make sure the students have more options to choose from--especially if they are ready to make the jump to chapter books. The excitement on their faces when they earn a token and get to choose a book is so heartwarming.
