My Project
The library is a place where students should be able to come and feel like they are a part of a community. This is their safe place to read, learn, and explore. After watching a teacher that creates his own badges for his classroom each year to foster a sense of community it gave me an idea. What if I created buttons for ALL of my students that encourage reading, learning, and a sense of belonging in our school district!
Buttons for back to school is to help students feel a part of the school community and sets the stage for an amazing school year!
I have never attempted a project like this but I am very excited to try it out and see how the students respond. I am also going to do a button contest for the following school year where students create a design for the button they want. After the entire school votes the button with the most votes will be created for the following year!
