My Project

I plan on curating book boxes for my students with different themes. There will be options for both fiction and non-fiction. Each box will contain one book to read, a fun activity, a keepsake, and a bookmark with recommended additional readings on the subject.

Students will be able to check out a book box once a semester to take home and engage with!

I need plastic boxes to use for each book box and then will fill each box with themed items. Themes include, fantasy books, financial literacy, historical fiction, and more! There will be at least a dozen boxes to choose from to start out with and I will curate and add new boxes depending on interest.
