Help build a new teacher's classroom library by showering her with beautiful Barefoot Books!
How? It's easy! You choose the location, invite the guests, and provide the food. I'll take care of the rest!
Here's how it works:
I'll provide you with a catalog and a wish list form for you to give the new teacher ahead of time. She (or he!) can go through the catalog as well as browse online and then write down the books she's interested in. You get the list from her about two weeks before the shower and give it to me. I'll order all of the books to have at the party, as well as a bunch of other books that I think she and the other guests might be interested in!
On the day of the party, I'll come early and set up a beautiful book display as well as put up colorful book-related decorations. I'll do a book-talk/story time to showcase some of the books that the new teacher wishes to have, as well as to highlight some of the other books that I brought along. I'll then step aside while the guests enjoy eating and visiting with one another, making myself available to answer any questions about the books as people peruse them. We'll have the new teacher's wish list available for the guests to see, as well as order forms for them to write down the books they would like to purchase (from that wish list as well as any books that they would like to purchase for themselves.) I'll process the orders as the guests are ready. At the end of the shower, I'll tally up the orders and will give the new teacher 20% of the total amount in free books of her choice!
If you would like to give the new teacher in your life a great start by helping to build her personal classroom library, then contact me and we'll start planning!
(A New Teacher Shower can also be hosted virtually, live via Facebook! Contact me for more information - I'd love to talk to you about this!)
