I would like for my class to have a book exchange. They will Apr. 21 Secretaries’ Day
be able to bring in any of their old books to school. We will Apr. 21 Early Release 1:15 pm
then trade our books with one another to help provide more Apr. 23 Spring Fling 6:30-8:30 pm
variety in reading material at home. You do NOT have to Apr. 23 Class Book Exchange!
purchase any books…the idea is to share what we already have! Apr. 28 Early Release 2:45 pm
The date for the book exchange will be on April 23rd. The
students can bring in as many books that they would like to **The EOG’s are in May!!! We
trade out. This will be my first year having a class book
exchange, but with so many avid readers, I feel it’s something I are almost there!!!
must do for them! I hope it’s a success!
