My Project

The basic resources in this project will be just what my students need to help them create memorable Reading Fair projects. My students are at the stage where they have chosen their books and are preparing to put the boards together.

It's time to make the boards pop with creativity!

These resources will certainly get the job done! The construction paper and the markers will draw special attention to the students' projects. With these materials, it is certain that we will draw the attention of the judges and bring back 1st place trophies.
