My Project

Students love to take books home from our classroom library.

A much more sustainable way to carry books back and forth from home is with reusable baggies.

Each baggie can be shared with families at home in order to foster a love of reading.

Students choose books for various reasons, including but not limited to adventure, cooking, fiction, non-fiction, science, math, etc.

When students bring home their baggies, it is like unwrapping a present each evening to go onto another adventure with their families.

Being sustainable is also a way students will learn how to make a smart move to help our environment.
