Next week, you will be assigned a day to visit your school to drop off any school materials, like library books. You will also get a chance to pick up any items you left in your classroom.
When you drop off your library books, we would love it if you would include a handmade bookmark. When we are back in school, these bookmarks will be available in the library.
When you design your bookmark, consider:
-adding an inspirational quote
-drawing a picture or design
-writing encouraging words
We can’t wait to see what you create!
