1. Click here for the Classroom Wish List Template. 🗣 Do NOT request edit access! MAKE A COPY or DOWNLOAD to create your own, editable document.
2. Once you have your own version, fill in your School Name and Fair Dates in the upper left-hand corner. Then add all subjects an teachers names in the 'Subject' and 'Teachers' tab below. Now Teachers' names will show up in Column D's dropdown menu on the 'Wish List' tab. And be sure to delete our examples!
3. Send the wish list link to teachers with the below email and have them fill out the document(s) with book titles.
4. [Optional]: Set up an eWallet fund for all teachers and insert the link into the Classroom Wish List. That way parents can contribute to their child's teacher wish lists.
Scholastic Book Fairs' digital payment option, eWallet, is the perfect way to create a fund for your Classroom Wish Lists. You can either set up a fund for ALL teachers, or you can ask teachers to create their own eWallet fund to share with parents (we've even included a printable to help!).
Promoting teacher eWallet funds is a great revenue opportunity! We’ve seen Fairs with eWallet sharing earn more on average than those without.
Recent Updates to eWallet:
When the Fair ends, eWallet balances convert to a gift card that can be spent online with Scholastic or used to fund an eWallet at a future Book Fair.* It's like a gift card that multiple people can fund for a child's at-home library.
Any remaining eWallet funds can be used to create a new eWallet for the school’s next Fair!
Any Scholastic gift card balances, including eGift Cards, can be used to fund an eWallet
* Be sure to sign into the Scholastic Online Store using the same email you used to create your eWallet account.
SUGGESTED SUBJECT LINE: [School Name]'s Virtual Book Fair: Fill Out Your Classroom Wish List
Dear Teachers:
Our Scholastic Book Fair is almost here! Before the Fair, I'd be grateful if you’d add books to your Classroom Wish List at [LINK TO CLASSROOM WISH LIST DOCUMENT]. In my outreach to the school community, I’ll share your list with parents and families who are eager to help you build your classroom libraries.
In putting together your Classroom Wish List, don’t forget to consult the experts: your students! They’ll be happy to suggest books they’d like to see in your classroom. Visiting our Book Fair’s online shopping site with your class is a great way to fill out your Wish List. You’ll find an expanded selection of exclusive books, new releases, value packs, and more for your classroom. I’ll remind families that all purchases from your Wish List earn rewards for our school.
