My Project

This is a back to school starter pack for setting up my literacy class. Help me to get my children reading books!

1.

The bookmarks are motivational and fun to get children reading.

2. The books will be shiny and brand new to share with the class.

2. The cellophane bags will be filled with treats to welcome children back to school.

3. Pencils-the tool never can never be allowed to run out. Many of my students do not have them.

4. The bulletin board trim is simple yet nice looking to display important reading information.
