It also gave a few 4th graders the opportunity to work as "clerks" to handle book sales (everything was $1.00 each!), organize books, and help with advertising by making signs. Ethan, in the picture below, even volunteered to drum up business by walking down the hallway in his "sandwich board" attire!
Since the official sale on the 10th and 11th, we've relied on Charlestown Staff members to increase the amount by buying a few books, or just donating money. This afternoon, two 4th Grade Library Helpers, Chris and Ethan (a different Ethan!) counted our total so far. You can see their math work on the photo and also see that so far we have over $146 to contribute. Tomorrow is our last day and I'll add an update to show the final total.
