A spin on the traditional book report: Book Mobiles

Hi everyone! I wanted to share some of the amazing book report mobiles I received today from my talented students! My students were able to choose their own books, so they were super excited to share their books with the class. The students (and myself) walked away with a nice long list of books to read in the future!

Some of my students also decorated a t-shirt about their books. LOVE IT!

This project was great for my students because it required the basic supplies they already have at home. Most of our students can’t really afford to go out and buy supplies for projects, but they ALL had hangers. I also left my classroom open in the mornings before school so that students could come in and use art supplies if they didn’t have any at home.

I love this idea. I've seen younger grades use this, but I never thought of incorporating this for a book report. THANKS for sharing.
