My Project

My students need these book bags/pouches It is important that my students read each night to grow as readers. To ensure my students have books to read every night, they pick books from our classroom library to bring home for homework. Having these durable and sturdy book bags will help my families know where to look for their nightly reading books. It will also help keep the classroom books in better condition. Taking these books home in their backpacks can often ruin the paper books. If my students had these book bags, it would protect the books from damage. It is so important for my students to have books to read at home and these book bags would greatly help my students achieve this goal.
