My school as a Winter and a Spring Book Fair. I found this out a few weeks ago when one of the mom's emailed me asking if I could decorate for this event. ..
It was a winter theme... and they needed penguins and polar bears.
;)
So- since she is a member of the PTA ( where I get most of my budget) - I said I would be happy to help....
One day after school after hanging another installation of Polar Bears with some theme like " Fall into a new book"- I asked the media specialist if there was a discount for teachers on books at the fair. This is when I found out about book bucks- Parents donate money for teachers to purchase books.
This morning I looked in my mail box to find 268$ book dollars!
Amazing.
Like most elementary art teachers I use a lot of children's literature to teach art lessons.
I purchased a lot of cool stuff- even bought a few items just for me.
One of my fav purchases was Zen Shorts. - One of those books I kept seeing at Barnes and NOble but never bought!
Very exciting! Definitely one of those days that makes it OK to work on a cart. ;)
