My Project

Our fourth and fifth-grade student book budget team has identified a need for our school library. The reading nook needs to be jazzed up to motivate our readers to curl up with a good book.

Comfortable pillows and book-character stuffed animals will fill this need!

Students will be able to read to the characters that are in the books that they check out. They will be able to use the stuffed animals to retell and act out the stories. They will be able to relax and get lost in reading!
