My Project

I am excited to be able to help my students create bound reference books with things that will help them with their learning such as a dictionary they can add to when they ask how something is spelled.

We will also use the binding machine to bind their writing activities throughout the year so that they can see where they started and where they finished at the end of the year.

They will take these home to share with their families and be able to take their reference book with them to the next grade level.
