Land of Stories Book 2 Classroom Set

Request from: Jordan Bodnar – 5th Grade – Twin Branch Elementary School 

My students have become infatuated with the series The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer. I read them each year and they are so popular that the library seldom has them in stock. I’d use these books to do class novel studies and read alongs while I read the books aloud. I have a set of book 1 already and they are almost all currently in use.

Presentation Boards for Science Fair

Request from: Cassidy Richard & Dan Rancourt 7th & 8th Grade – John Young Middle School 

For our annual science fair, students have to design, conduct, and report on an experiment to test a question that is interesting to them. We have them assemble their final presentations on a trifold board for an easy and consistent display of information. Each year, more and more students have trouble financing the purchase of this board, so we like to have an ample amount on-hand to ensure that a lack of materials won’t hamper the students’ ability to create their presentation.
