My Project

My classroom received a book binding machine through a previously funded project and I am looking to purchase more binding combs and clear covers for our first grade team as we approach the new school year.

These binding materials will continue to allow my students to display their books like true authors.

My first graders love to write books and this machine has sparked even the most reluctant writers to write a book. Having a tangible book they can create, bind, and take home give my students a great sense of accomplishment! With these materials, each student will have endless opportunities to see themselves as an author.

*My classroom photo currently shows our display of published books along with our Fellowes binding machine.
