Take home book bags are plastic bags with a collection of books inside that can be “checked out” by students. They are a great way for students to bring literature home on subjects they’re interested in. I used them in kindergarten and second grade, but the idea can be used at many elementary grade levels. This provided a way for the students to use my books without them being shoved in a box and forgotten. The book bags also included a spiral notebook for a school-to-home connection. The students and their families were allowed to leave a message, drawing or something on a page in the notebook. This was shared with the students periodically throughout the week. I worked in a very low-income school and the book bags were a great source of enjoyment for the students.

I have taught for eleven years in a variety of grade levels and socio-economic levels. I have enjoyed all grade levels that I have taught, and am enjoying my current work in Junior High! I have a B.S.I.S. from Midwestern State University and a Master's in Technology Integration from Nova Southeastern University. I have also worked as a Campus Technology Integration Facilitator, and have presented at local and regional conferences. I enjoy working with peers and students! They both provide new sets of challenges.
