My Project

The items requested in this project are a variety of plush book buddy slap bracelets, and weighted stuffed animals!

My students have loved being able to choose a stuffed animal or a book buddy to read to, and I want to expand my choices so more students can use them at the same time!

I have seen more motivation and effort in my students during their reading time when they are able to choose a stuffed animal to read to, and I want to continue encouraging this! I hope to have enough reading buddies for all of my students to choose one and not have to take turns!
