My Project

A school library is so important! Since our school has transitioned this year from elementary to middle school, my goal has been to update the library and get my middle school students to remember to take care of their library books and return them on time. I'd like to implement a points based positive behavior system in the library for returning library books on time and in good condition. The project also includes Kleenex for the students to use in the library.

Well taken care of books with new library décor is a winning goal!

With some treats as book return incentives and new library decorations to brighten up the library, we'll have a win win end to the school year.
