My Project

My class is obsessed with dragons! We absolutely love fantasy books!

Recently, our class read Dragon Masters Book #1 by Tracey West, and we immediately fell in love.

This book sparked a love of reading that has taken over our class. My class of 32 is constantly asking to read more books about dragons - however, that is a problem because we only have five of her magical books!

This project will provide our class with the complete set of the Dragon Masters series and some comfy stools to read them on - because anything is better than your boring classroom desk chair!

Our current classroom stools are falling apart, so adding new stools will significantly impact reading time.
