This backpack project was done as a Service Learning Project with fifth graders at a public elementary school. A Literacy Backpacks Lending Library for their pre-school buddies at the local preschool. Each backpack has a non-fiction book (or two) and activities to go with the theme of the pack and book. Local people and business' sponsored the pack and chose the theme too. Museums, school staff, libraries, and local companies invested in promoting reading in their community sponsored backpacks. The backpacks were given to the pre-school and will serve as a non-fiction lending library to encourage family literacy and interest around non-fiction.
We put together10 themed literacy backpacks from 10 different community sponsors (museums, businesses, families) for a local preschool. The backpacks include nonfiction and hands-on activities. The preschool children are thrilled to bring them home for exploration and learning.
