Book Making Is Really Coil

Help me give my students a coil binding machine and coils so that we can create personal books, as well as classroom books.

My Project

This coil binding machine and coils will be a huge part of our classroom this school year! I am moving from kindergarten to 2nd grade, and I am passionate about writing with my students. They will love making "real books" to share and be proud of.

Bookmaking is a great way to promote books in general.

Children enjoy flipping through the books they have made and sharing them with friends and family.

Bookmaking presents many learning opportunities for kids. The content of their book can be linked to a range of topics throughout the 2nd-grade curriculum.
