Library Sticks

Very simple to make and a great student tracking tool! Each student is assigned a class number, this number indicates which library stick they will use. Now when it comes time for them to visit your classroom library they will choose their library stick and place it inside the book bin where they made their book choice. Their stick will ensure the teacher they are making the correct AR level choice as their sticks remains in the book bin until they swap out their book.

How to make: 

- Go to Home Depot and ask a manager for your required amount of paint sticks, he or she is very accommodating if they know you're a teacher :) 

- Go to Walmart and purchase the cheapest can of black spray paint (the one I used was less than $1) 

- Spray paint the sticks and let each side dry then attach your classroom numbers with a hot glue gun 

I got my classroom numbers from A Cupcake for the Teacher Blogspot: acupcakefortheteacher.blogspot.com
