"Love it! Would you have a picture of how you display the bead collection/necklaces in the classroom?".
I have a bulletin board that displays student necklaces. I purchased the necklaces from 8seasons.com. They were SUPER cheap and work perfectly with Books & Beads!!! I also purchased these cute little charms from 8seasons.com that say "I Can" on them so each student would start with something on their necklace. I bought little star die cuts and wrote the students names on them. I used a pushpin as a "hanger" for the necklaces.
Students earn 1 red pony bead for every book they read. Chapters books earn 5 pony beads per book read. Students earn 1 very special star bead for every 100 books read! We use Raz-Kids in my classroom as well as books from the class library. Students are free to read any book they wish!
Want to do this in your classroom??? It's easy! Click on the picture below to go right to my store. Books & Beads is just $3.00 and the kids and parents LOVE it!!!
