This project is intended to build a reading and writing community throughout the school and the community.

A bag with a letter, book, and journal (with prompt) will circulate each classroom.

One student at a time will take the bag home to share with their families. Both children and parents are invited to journal after reading the book together.

Once the journal has circulated the entire class, they will have a celebration of reading and writing! Each class bag includes a different age appropriate picture book.
