Book Binder

Help me give my students a professionally bound book that will remind them of their hard work in 2nd grade!

My Students

I currently teach a class of 21 energetic students who share my love of learning. They love working together and helping each other succeed. They are great at problem-solving and using their creativity. As a class, we love to do hands-on activities and share our ideas with others. My students love to use technology and explore new websites to enhance their learning. We love reading and discussing new stories. We are working to add essential items to make our classroom complete!

My Project

This project is for a book binder to help me make unique workbooks for the classroom. This binder will make a difference in my students learning by giving them professionally bound workbooks, readers, and student created books. I will use this device to bind student-created books in the classroom. This resource will be used to bind a variety of projects, like memory books, workbooks, and student-created books.

I will use the resource to bind all materials that students have worked on throughout the year.

Once collected, I can use the binder to create a professional book with student work from the entire year. It will serve as a memory book and reminder of how hard they worked in 2nd grade.
