My Project

In first grade we are always making books. We love to write our own books, but we struggle keeping them together for others to read. A book binding machine will help us keep our original books together for others to enjoy.

Encourage my students to become authors!

Whether we are writing our own stories or making a class book. We love to share our books with others. A book binding machine will help us keep our books organized and neat.

First graders love to write books and this machine would spark even the most reluctant writer to write a book. This project would be a game changer for my classroom.
