I don’t know about yours, but my students LOVE bookmarks. And right now, I’m almost out. I was thinking about how much fun my students would have\u00c2\u00a0with a bookmark exchange, so I sent out a tweet:<\/p>\n

\"Tweets\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And this is why I love Twitter! Thanks, Mary Clark<\/a>, for sharing this awesome information about the Literacy Challenge<\/a> by the Students Rebuild program!<\/p>\n

Here’s\u00c2\u00a0the plan for this Bookmark Exchange:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\u00c2\u00a0Register a team to participate in the Literacy Challenge<\/strong> here<\/a>. For every bookmark that’s sent in for the challenge, the Bezos Family Foundation will donate $1 (up to $300,000)\u00c2\u00a0to Save the Children\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Literacy Boost\u00c2\u00a0program in Latin America (Peru), Africa (Mali) and Asia (Nepal).\u00c2\u00a0AND if your bookmarks are postmarked between now and February 14th, they’ll double their donation (check out the info here on the Bookmark-athon<\/a>).\u00c2\u00a0Check out this FAQ page<\/a> for more info about the Literacy Challenge.<\/p>\n

2. Sign up to participate in our Bookmark Exchange<\/strong> as well using this Google Form<\/a>. For this, we’ll be sending bookmarks to each other for our own students to enjoy. Sign up now through February 6th to participate. Register to “swap” bookmarks in sets\u00c2\u00a0of 25. Then, after February 6th, I’ll email you the addresses of the school (or schools, depending on how many you make) where your bookmarks will be enjoyed.
