I found this great idea on Pinterest (where would we be without it?) and wanted to recreate it but for student's book recommendations. Last year I had a sports theme and I made a baseball bat poster that said "Sure Hits" and students wrote down books that they thought were amazing. It was great up until it was so full you couldn't read any of the books anymore. This year I wanted to break it up by genre since they will be doing the 30 book challenge from the Book Whisperer.
The genre posters are from Beth Newingham but I did recreate some of them so the books were more on the 5th grade level (she teaches third). The book recommendation sheet I created on Word and put it on top of fancy paper from JoAnn's. Slide it into a sheet protector and place them in the binder rings. Close the binder rings around the paper towel holder and you're done! This could be used for a number of things, including showing off student's work! If you have any more ideas for the carousel I would LOVE to hear them!

Thank you! I'm very happy with it :o) Heather it is actually just a paper towel holder! The rod screws off and on but really the 1" binder clips open wide enough to fit around it already assembled.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Thanks for sharing.

I made one of these on Saturday! How crazy is that?! I saw the same thing on Pinterest... I'm using mine to keep track of student work since I do not have a lot of wall space to display their work. Check Out My Creation! I really like your idea as well! I love Beth Newingham's work...Isn't she incredible!?
