42 Creative Book Report Ideas for Students
Inspire your students to share their love of books.
![book bag assignment](https://www.weareteachers.com/wp-content/uploads/Creative-Book-Reports-main-image.png)
Responding to what you read is an important literacy skill. Reading about other people’s experiences and perspectives helps kids learn about the world. And although students don’t need to dive deeply into every single book they read, occasionally digging into characters, settings, and themes can help them learn to look beyond the prose. Here are 42 creative book report ideas designed to make reading more meaningful for kids.
![concrete-poem A poem about the sword in the stone formatted in the shape of the sword in the stone](https://www.weareteachers.com/wp-content/uploads/concrete-poem.png)
1. Concrete Found Poem
This clever activity is basically a shape poem made up of words, phrases, and whole sentences found in the books students read. The words come together to create an image that represents something from the story.
2. Graphic Novel
Have students rewrite the book they are reading, or a chapter of their book, as a graphic novel. Set parameters for the assignment such as including six scenes from the story, three characters, details about the setting, etc. And, of course, include detailed illustrations to accompany the story.
![booksnap-example A news article displayed on a computer screen with comments and an emoji laid over the print as an example of creative book report ideas](https://www.weareteachers.com/wp-content/uploads/booksnap-example.jpg)
3. Book Snaps
Book Snaps are a way for students to visually show how they are reacting to, processing, and/or connecting with a text. First, students snap a picture of a page in the book they are reading. Then, they add comments, images, highlights, and more.
4. Diary Entry
Have your students place themselves in the shoes of one of the characters from their book and write a first-person diary entry of a critical moment from the story. Ask them to choose a moment in the story where the character has plenty of interaction and emotion to share in a diary entry.
![pizza-box-book-report A pizza box decorated with a book cover and a paper pizza with book report details as an example of creative book report ideas](https://www.weareteachers.com/wp-content/uploads/pizza-box-book-report.webp)
5. Pizza Box Book Report
If you’re looking for creative book report ideas that use upcycled materials, try this one using a pizza box. It works well for both nonfiction and fiction book reports. The top lid provides a picture of the book cover. Each wedge of the pizza pie tells part of the story.
6. Book Jacket
Have students create a new book jacket for their story. Include an attractive illustrated cover, a summary, a short biography of the author, and a few reviews from readers.
![mint-tin-book-report A book report made from a mint tin as an example of creative book report ideas](https://www.weareteachers.com/wp-content/uploads/mint-tin-book-report-1.webp)
7. Mint Tin Book Report
There are so many super-creative, open-ended projects you can use mint tins for. Teacher blogger Teacher Thrive describes the process of creating book reports using them. There’s even a free template for cards that fit inside.
8. Fictional Yearbook Entries
Ask your students to create a yearbook based on the characters and setting in the book. What do they look like? Cut out magazine pictures to give a good visual image for their school picture. What kind of superlative might they get? Best-looking? Class clown? What clubs would they be in or lead? Did they win any awards? It should be obvious from their small yearbooks whether your students dug deep into the characters in their books. They may also learn that who we are as individuals is reflected in what we choose to do with our lives.
![cake-book-report A book report in the form of a cake made from paper](https://www.weareteachers.com/wp-content/uploads/cake-book-report.jpg)
9. Book Report Cake
This project would be perfect for a book tasting in your classroom! Each student presents their book report in the shape of food. Learn more about book tastings .
10. Current Events Comparison
Have students locate three to five current events articles a character in their book might be interested in. After they’ve found the articles, have them explain why the character would find them interesting and how they relate to the book. Learning about how current events affect time, place, and people is critical to helping develop opinions about what we read and experience in life.
![sandwich-book-report A book report written on separate pieces of paper shaped like ingredients of a sandwich](https://www.weareteachers.com/wp-content/uploads/sandwich-book-report.webp)
11. Sandwich Book Report
Yum! You’ll notice a lot of our creative book report ideas revolve around food. In this oldie but goodie, each layer of this book report sandwich covers a different element of the book—characters, setting, conflict, etc.
12. Book Alphabet
Choose 15 to 20 alphabet books to help give your students examples of how they work around themes. Then ask your students to create their own Book Alphabet based on the book they read. What artifacts, vocabulary words, and names reflect the important parts of the book? After they find a word to represent each letter, have them write one sentence that explains where the word fits in.
![book-report-trifold A book report tacked to a tri-fold display board with a face peeking over the top as an example of creative book report ideas](https://www.weareteachers.com/wp-content/uploads/book-report-trifold.jpg)
13. Peekaboo Book Report
Using cardboard lap books (or small science report boards), students include details about their book’s main characters, plot, setting, conflict, resolution, etc. Then they draw a head and arms on card stock and attach them to the board from behind to make it look like the main character is peeking over this book report.
14. Act the Part
Have students dress up as their favorite character from the book and present an oral book report. If their favorite character is not the main character, retell the story from their point of view.
![t-shirt-book-report A student wears a colorful t-shirt decorated with a book report about the book Ivy and Bean](https://www.weareteachers.com/wp-content/uploads/t-shirt-book-report.jpg)
15. T-shirt Book Report
Another fun and creative idea: Create a wearable book report with a plain white tee. Come up with your own using Sharpie pens and acrylic paint.
16. Bookmark
Have students create a custom illustrated bookmark that includes drawings and words from either their favorite chapter or the entire book.
![book-report-rays A cutout of a woman's profile is surrounded by colorful sections, each with a description of the pictured woman](https://www.weareteachers.com/wp-content/uploads/book-report-rays.png)
17. Rays of Sunshine Book Report
This is great for biography research projects. Students cut out a photocopied image of their subject and glue it in the middle. Then, they draw lines from the image to the edges of the paper, like rays of sunshine, and fill in each section with information about the person. As a book report template, the center image could be a copy of the book cover, and each section expands on key information such as character names, theme(s), conflict, resolution, etc.
18. Reading Lists for Characters
Ask your students to think about a character in their book. What kinds of books might that character like to read? Take them to the library to choose five books the character might have on their to-be-read list. Have them list the books and explain what each book might mean to the character. Post the to-be-read lists for others to see and choose from—there’s nothing like trying out a book character’s style when developing your own identity.
![to-do-list A student's hand-written to-do list](https://www.weareteachers.com/wp-content/uploads/to-do-list.png)
19. Character To-Do List
This fun activity is an off-the-beaten-path way to dive deep into character analysis. Get inside the head of the main character in a book and write a to-do list that they might write. Use actual information from the text, but also make inferences into what that character may wish to accomplish.
20. Collage
Create a collage using pictures and words that represent different parts of the book. Use old magazines or print pictures from the Internet.
![paper-bag-book-reports A group of students pose with their paper bag book reports as an example of creative book report ideas](https://www.weareteachers.com/wp-content/uploads/book-report-in-a-bag.jpg)
21. Book Reports in a Bag
Looking for book report ideas that really encourage creative thinking? With book reports in a bag, students read a book and write a summary. Then, they decorate a paper grocery bag with a scene from the book, place five items that represent something from the book inside the bag, and present the bag to the class.
22. Timeline
Have students create a timeline of the main events from their book. Be sure to include character names and details for each event. Use 8″ x 11″ sheets of paper taped together or a long portion of bulletin board paper.
![file-folder-book-report A manilla file folder decorated with elements of a book report as an example of creative book report ideas](https://www.weareteachers.com/wp-content/uploads/file-folder-book-report.jpg)
23. File Folder Book Report
Also called a lap book, this easy-to-make book report hits on all the major elements of a book study and gives students a chance to show what they know in a colorful way.
24. Public Service Announcement
If a student has read a book about a cause that affects people, animals, or the environment, teach them about public service announcements . Once they understand what a PSA is, have them research the issue or cause that stood out in the book. Then provide a template for a storyboard so they can create their own PSA. Some students might want to take it a step further and create a video based on their storyboard. Consider sharing their storyboard or video with an organization that supports the cause or issue.
![triorama-book-report A book report written on a 3 dimensional triangle](https://www.weareteachers.com/wp-content/uploads/triorama-book-report.jpg)
25. Triorama Book Report
Who doesn’t love a multidimensional book report? This image shows a 3D model, but you can also try an accordion-folded book report, a quadrama, or an info-sphere.
26. Character Cards
Make trading cards (like baseball cards) for a few characters from the book. On the front side, draw the character. On the back side, make a list of their character traits and include a quote or two.
![mobile-book-report A girl stands next to a book report mobile made from a wire hanger and index cards as an example of creative book report ideas](https://www.weareteachers.com/wp-content/uploads/Finished-Mobile.jpeg)
27. Book Report Mobile
This creative project doesn’t require a fancy or expensive supply list. Students just need an ordinary clothes hanger, strings, and paper. The body of the hanger is used to identify the book, and the cards on the strings dangling below are filled with key elements of the book, like characters, setting, and a summary.
28. Fact Sheet
Have students create a list of 10 facts that they learned from reading the book. Have them write the facts in complete sentences, and be sure that each fact is something that they didn’t know before they read the book.
![dodecahedron-book-report A book report made from 12 sheets of paper put together to form a dodecahedron as an example of creative book report ideas](https://www.weareteachers.com/wp-content/uploads/dodecahedron-book-report.jpg)
29. Dodecahedron Book Report
Creative book report ideas think outside the box. In this case, it’s a ball! SO much information can be covered on the 12 panels, and it allows students to take a deep dive in a creative way.
30. Be a Character Therapist
Therapists work to uncover their clients’ fears based on their words and actions. When we read books, we must learn to use a character’s actions and dialogue to infer their fears. Many plots revolve around a character’s fear and the work it takes to overcome that fear. Ask students to identify a character’s fear and find 8 to 10 scenes that prove this fear exists. Then have them write about ways the character overcame the fear (or didn’t) in the story. What might the character have done differently?
![charm-bracelet-book-report A decorated paper hand with paper charms hanging off of it](https://www.weareteachers.com/wp-content/uploads/charm-bracelet.jpg)
31. Charm Bracelet Book Report
What a “charming” way to write a book report! Each illustrated bracelet charm captures a character, an event in the plot, setting, or other detail.
32. Mind Maps
Mind maps can be a great way to synthesize what students have learned from reading a book. Plus, there are so many ways to approach them. Begin by writing a central idea in the middle of the page. For example, general information, characters, plot, etc. Then branch out from the center with ideas, thoughts, and connections to material from the book.
![book-report-booklet A book made from folded grocery bags is the template for a student book report as an example of creative book report ideas](https://www.weareteachers.com/wp-content/uploads/book-report-booklet.jpeg)
33. Book Report Booklets
This clever book report is made from ordinary paper bags. Stack the paper bags on top of each other, fold them in half, and staple the closed-off ends of the bags together. Students can write, draw, and decorate on the paper bag pages. They can also record information on writing or drawing paper and glue the paper onto the pages. The open ends of the bags can be used as pockets to insert photos, cut-outs, postcards, or other flat items that help them tell their story.
34. Letter to the Author
Have kids write a letter to the author of the book. Tell them three things you really liked about the story. Ask three questions about the plot, characters, or anything else you’re curious about.
![cardboard-box-tv A low tech tv made from a cereal box](https://www.weareteachers.com/wp-content/uploads/cardboard-box-tv.png)
35. Cardboard Box TV
This cardboard box TV book report project is a low-tech version of a television made from a cereal box and two paper towel rolls. Students create the viewing screen cut out at the top, then insert a scroll of paper with writing and illustrations inside the box. When the cardboard roll is rotated, the story unfolds.
36. Board games
This is a great project if you want your students to develop a little more insight into what they’re reading. Have them think about the elements of their favorite board games and how they can be adapted to fit this assignment.
![foldable-book-report A book report made from a paper background and attached flaps as an example of creative book report ideas as an example of creative book report ideas](https://www.weareteachers.com/wp-content/uploads/foldable-book-report.jpeg)
37. Foldables
From Rainbows Within Reach, this clever idea would be a great introduction to writing book reports. Adapt the flap categories for students at different levels. Adjust the number of categories (or flaps) per the needs of your students.
38. Timeline
Create a timeline using a long roll of butcher paper, a poster board, or index cards taped together. For each event on the timeline, write a brief description of what happens. Add pictures, clip art, word art, and symbols to make the timeline more lively and colorful.
![comic-strip-book-report A girl stands holding a comic strip book report as an example of creative book report ideas](https://www.weareteachers.com/wp-content/uploads/comic-strip-book-report.webp)
39. Comic Strips
If you’re looking for creative book report ideas for students who like graphic novels, try comic strip book reports. Include an illustrated cover with the title and author. The pages of the book should retell the story using dialogue and descriptions of the setting and characters. Of course, no comic book would be complete without copious illustrations and thought bubbles.
40. Movie Version
If the book your students have read has been made into a movie, have them write a report about how the versions are alike and different. If the book has not been made into a movie, have them write a report telling how they would make it into a movie, using specific details from the book.
![wanted-poster-book-report A book report in the form of a wanted poster](https://www.weareteachers.com/wp-content/uploads/wanted-poster-book-report-765x1024.jpeg)
41. Wanted Poster
Make a Wanted poster for one of the book’s main characters. Indicate whether they are wanted dead or alive. Include a picture of the character and a description of what the character is “wanted” for, three examples of the character showing this trait, and a detailed account of where the character was last seen.
42. Wheaties Box Book Report
Recycle a cereal box and create a book report to look like an old-fashioned Wheaties box that features sports heroes. Include a main image on the front side of the box. Decorate the sides of the box with information about the book’s characters, setting, plot, summary, etc.

Book in a Bag Project Book Report Alternative
April 7, 2024 by Carol Davis
Are you looking for an engaging alternative to a book report? This idea is perfect! I call it The Book in a Bag Project!
This little project was invented to have students share a book with their classmates in an interesting and personal way. If you have ever listened to students reading their ‘book report’ aloud then you know exactly what I am talking about!
![book bag assignment Book in a Bag Project - Explore our latest blog post for a step-by-step guide on launching a student book share project. From selecting captivating reads to crafting engaging presentations, ignite a passion for storytelling and collaboration in your classroom.](https://teachersareterrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/book-in-a-bag-closer.jpg)
“ In this post, for your convenience, you may find Amazon Affiliate links to resources. This means that Amazon will pass on small percentages to me with your purchase of items. This will not create extra costs for you at all! It will help me keep this blog running! “
So, how does the Book in a Bag Project work?
Here’s the gist of the project.
- Read a book.
- Write a summary.
- Decorate a bag with a scene from the book.
- Place five items in the bag that represent something from the book.
- Bring it to school.
- Present it to the class!
The bag can be any size. A brown grocery bag is perfect and gift bags are also good choices.
What are the Guidelines of the Book in a Bag Project?
![book bag assignment Book in a Bag Project - Explore our latest blog post for a step-by-step guide on launching a student book share project. From selecting captivating reads to crafting engaging presentations, ignite a passion for storytelling and collaboration in your classroom.](https://teachersareterrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/book-in-a-bag-3-683x1024.png)
The guidelines for the project are simple.
The front of the bag should show an original student-made scene from the book. This can be hand drawn and colored with markers or crayons, or have cut-outs or other embellishments to decorate the front. It cannot be images that are printed from a computer!
The drawing can have embellishments added- like cloth or small plastic toys. But those are decorative- not the main scene.
![book bag assignment Book in a Bag Project - Explore our latest blog post for a step-by-step guide on launching a student book share project. From selecting captivating reads to crafting engaging presentations, ignite a passion for storytelling and collaboration in your classroom.](https://teachersareterrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/book-in-a-bag-2-683x1024.png)
On the back of the bag is a one-page summary of the book. We worked on how to write this in class and then students wrote their own. The lessons I taught about this included samples from books I had read.
I just wanted the students to know that a summary does NOT tell every little tiny event, but also covers the entire book! Hint, hint, you should not read a 400-page book. That’s hard to summarize on one piece of paper!
What’s Inside the Bag?
![book bag assignment Book in a Bag Project - Explore our latest blog post for a step-by-step guide on launching a student book share project. From selecting captivating reads to crafting engaging presentations, ignite a passion for storytelling and collaboration in your classroom.](https://teachersareterrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/book-in-a-bag-4-683x1024.png)
Now, here’s where it gets really fun. Inside the bag students should have five items that show something from the book.
The student could have included a plastic lizard in the book about the iguana. Or with Crash, students could bring a football or helmet.
Finally, each item should have an explanation card that tells why the item represents something from the book. The presentations are so fun! Each student shares the bag and a little of the summary, but the most fun is sharing the five items in the bag.
Now, you cannot do all these presentations in one day! It just takes too long. We spread these out over a full week!
It’s an easy idea and a wonderful way to share books. It beats a regular written book report, hands down! Try it!
Now, here is your surprise! I created an assignment sheet for this project many years ago and I am sharing it with you. Print it out and use this fun activity with your students! (It is not an editable document.)

How I Use Book Boxes or Book Bags in K-2
- March 28, 2021
Imagine this: It’s independent reading time. Your students are quietly or silently reading. (All of them!) They’re engaged. And they’re even enjoying themselves.
That’s the dream, right?!
In order to become better readers, kids need to actually PRACTICE reading. Not for hours and hours on end. But for at least a short period of time each school day. (We can’t guarantee that practice happens at home.)
However, if we’re going to set aside time for independent reading, we want that time to be productive . And we want that time to be spent actually reading – not choosing books!
Giving students time to select books is important, but if we allow it to happen during independent reading, we’re disrupting the quiet, calm atmosphere we were trying to create.
Because if just one child gets up to choose a new book, suddenly everyone needs a new book! And you’re hearing…
- “I don’t like this book. Can I trade it?”
- “I’m done. Can I get a new book?”
- “This book is boring. Can I trade it?”
- “This book is too hard. Can I find something else?”
This is exactly why I don’t allow students to choose new books during independent reading time! Instead, I give my students book boxes or book bags so that everyone can sit down and read (with fewer interruptions)!
In this blog post, I’ll share how I organize my book boxes or book bags in Kindergarten, first grade, or second grade.
![book bag assignment Do your students read or choose books during independent reading time? Come check out this blog post to see how I set my Kindergarten, first grade, or second grade students up with book boxes. This is such a time-saver!!](https://learningattheprimarypond.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/LATPP_Blog_28.3.21_How-I-Use-Book-Boxes-Bags-K-2_Pin1-333x500.jpg)
Book Boxes or Book Bags
Each student in my class gets a book box or book bag. This is where they keep the materials they’ve selected for independent reading. A book box or book bag serves as a personal “to-go” library!
You can purchase book boxes at teacher stores, or you can use simple baskets from a store like Target.
Personally, I love using canvas / re-useable grocery bags! You can ask local stores or organizations to donate them (or perhaps you can purchase them for a small fee).
You can also purchase them online – click on the image below for an Amazon affiliate link.
![book bag assignment](https://learningattheprimarypond.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/IMG_EA4EB20EAD4D-1-1024x1024.jpeg)
![](http://sektorel.online/777/templates/cheerup/res/banner1.gif)
Book Check-Out Routine
When it comes to checking out books, I use a schedule based on my existing guided reading / small groups (one less thing to organize!). On Mondays, the blue group comes to school, hangs up their backpack, and grabs their book bag. They take their bag to the classroom library and swap their books first thing every Monday. On Tuesday, the green group follows the same process and so on for the rest of the week.
![book bag assignment](https://learningattheprimarypond.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/LibraryCheckoutScheduleExample.jpg)
If you find that students need to get new books more than once per week, simply “double up” – have two groups check out books each day.
You can also remind students about their book checkout day by using a bookmark or a posted schedule. Get this bookmark for FREE to use in your classroom.
![book bag assignment](https://learningattheprimarypond.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/CheckoutBookmark.png)
What Goes In The Book Box or Book Bag?
Books, of course! ? Here’s what works well for me as far as how many books students keep in their bags:
![book bag assignment](https://learningattheprimarypond.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/ReadingMaterials.jpg)
In 1st grade, students start with 10 books, but most will only need 8 as they start into beginning chapter books. In 2nd grade, the students start with 6 books, but towards the end of the year, they might only have 4 books in their bags depending on the book-length and difficulty.
Also, students will vary as far as how quickly they finish their books. You can make adjustments to your routines based upon student need. In Kinder and 1st grade, I encourage students to reread books often – this is so good for fluency!
Student Choice
Choice is a powerful motivator! When our kids can make choices, they’re more engaged and likely to stay on task.
At the same time…sometimes we want to or need to provide a little guidance in students’ reading materials. We don’t want students “pretend reading” because they consistently choose books that are way too challenging for them.
Here’s how I provide guidance yet still allow students choice:
- Students may choose half of their books from anywhere in the classroom library
- Students must choose the other half of their books from a guided choice bin
Each one of my reading small groups has a color-coordinated bin where I place books that I know they can read. They might be new books consistent with their independent reading level or phonics knowledge. Or they might be books that students already read during guided reading or phonics (texts I know they will be successful reading again on their own).
![book bag assignment](https://learningattheprimarypond.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Studentchoice.jpg)
Productive independent reading time is not an unrealistic dream. You can make it happen!
We just need to set our students up for success by teaching expectations – and book boxes or book bags are an important part of those expectations.
If you could use some more ideas for teaching students to read independently, check out this blog post: “Do’s and Don’ts” for Teaching Independent Reading Expectations in K-2 .
Unit 1 of my shared reading units also walk you, step by step, through setting up independent reading at the beginning of the school year:
![book bag assignment](https://learningattheprimarypond.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Unit-1-Kinder-Shared-Reading-Preview-IMAGES.001-1-375x500.jpeg)

I love book boxes and book bags! In my room, students are able to choose what books and Scholastic Magazines go into their book boxes. (We switch them out weekly, very similar to Alison’s suggestion). Inside their book boxes are gallon-sized ziploc bags. Throughout the beginning of the year, we put our shared reading- paper books- in there and then when they are ready for reading leveled books, they get to choose books at their level for their kindergarten bag. Students know the routine of reading at least one kindergarten book at private reading time before moving to the other … Read more »
Stacie, sounds as if you have great routines for this!!

At-Home Book Bags
![book bag assignment At-Home Book Bags](https://brownbagteacher.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/SimpleAtHomeReadingBags.jpg)
Filling Our Book Bags
- Every student gets a plastic, gallon bag. (this way when bags get torn/dragged through mud/lost), it truly doesn’t matter. I just grab another gallon bag.
- Add this blurb to the front. Cover with clear packing tape to secure.
- Spread high-interest books from Half-Price Books, Scholastic, Good Will, or Chickfila on the ground.
- Have students sit around the perimeter of the carpet or area where the books are spread.
- Call on groups of students to fill (pick a nonfiction/fiction book you want to read, a book that looks funny, a book an adult in your house would want to read, a book you could read by yourself etc.)for a total of 4-6 bookish.
- Put book bags in backpack and let families read.
- Each Friday morning (6:30 AM) send a Remind text to encourage the return of the bags.
- Children set bags on their table when they get to school.
- Play “Musical Book Bag” to get new books bags each week. To play Musical Book Bag, students stand around the tables (with book bags on the table) and cake-walk it until the music stops.
- Once a month, return to Step 2 and resort/pick books.
- Boom. Done. It’s a simple, no-stress way to make sure students have lots of books to read. The books are books students wants to read and can be read by themselves, with an adult, before school, or even with a friend.

I so appreciate your posts! I also send books home every week. I include a couple reading strategy bookmarks in a plastic envelope for parents to use with their child. I think it’s one of the best routines I do in terms of supporting reading development, love of reading and also a positive relationship between my students, their families and me. My students bring their book “envelope” back every Friday. During guided reading, I call them individually to bring their books to me. They select one to read (a few lines/paragraphs/pages depending on the amount of text) and we have a quick comprehension talk about the book or I teach/review a quick strategy. I take a brief note about successes and struggles on a recording sheet as the student heads to the book boxes to select a couple leveled books and “free reading” books to refill their envelope. Their job is to read, read, read throughout the week and bring them back the following Friday. It’s the best part of my week!

I am always looking for cheap books. I haven’t been very pleased with Scholastics books for a dollar. The ones that are 25 for $25. They seem to be ones that aren’t very popular. I had found a link that had cheap books but when they came, they were used and some were old. Any suggestions?

Hey Michelle! It’s definitely a catalog-by-catalog roulette. Sometimes the books are awesome and sometimes, not so much. Typically in November/December and April/May I have the best luck!

Hi, I read your blog about at home book bags and I love the idea of students picking out the books but how do you differentiate the bags when you play musical book bags?

Hi! I am loving this idea. I’m new to primary after years of upper elementary and I have not yet been able to find a system that is quick and efficient! This sounds like a win for all invovled. I also love the unhomework calendar idea -just awesome! I’m curious, do you have students and/or parents log in any manner what they were able to read that week? As a bit of an accountability tool? My gut is saying no with this method, but checking in on this! Thanks so much.

I am so excited to implement this book bag program in my 1st grade classroom! This is my first year teaching 1st grade and the thought of a book bag program freaked me out. Haha! I guess I just didn’t know where to start and the whole thing overwhelmed me. I love that this is such a simple and easy routine that will allow students to fall in love with reading!! This routine makes reading fun rather than a chore. No more book bag programs that feel like homework!

Bye, A group. Here are the big changes Southwest Airlines just revealed
Soon, your seat on a Southwest Airlines flight won't depend on your boarding group.
Southwest revealed major changes to its boarding policy and flight schedule on Thursday, July 25, including phasing out its longstanding open seating policy in favor of assigned and premium seating.
Southwest also plans to introduce redeye flights. One of its first redeye flights will be from Phoenix.
The move comes as Southwest, which operates the second-largest flight capacity at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, is working to improve its profitability and the flying experience. In April , Southwest CEO Bob Jordan told investors in an earnings call that his staff was looking into whether ending open seating would satisfy customers' preferences.
Here's what to know about the end of open seating on Southwest Airlines and what other changes may be coming.
Is Southwest Airlines doing away with open seating?
Yes. Southwest will begin assigned seating on all flights in 2025.
In addition, Southwest will create a premium cabin section with extended-legroom seats. This premium section will encompass about one-third of the available seats.
The changes won't occur right away because the new cabin layouts require approval from the Federal Aviation Administration, according to Southwest's announcement.
Southwest will reveal more details about how assigned and premium seats will work and what the cabin layouts will look like during the airline's Investor Day in late September.
When reached for comment by The Arizona Republic, Southwest did not say what the premium-seat legroom will be and whether standard legroom would change from the 32-inch average seat pitch in the current cabins.
Why is Southwest ending open seating?
It has to do with both customer preference and the airline's profitability.
Southwest said it conducted extensive research on passengers' seating preferences and found that 80% of its customers and 86% of potential customers prefer seat assignments. Customers cited the airline's open seating policy as the No. 1 reason why they chose to fly with a competing airline.
"We have been building purposefully to this change as part of a comprehensive upgrade to the Southwest experience as we focus on customer expectations – and it will unlock new sources of revenue consistent with our laser focus on delivering improved financial performance," Jordan said in the airline's announcement.
Southwest is working to improve its financial position. The airline reported a net loss of $231 million in the first three months of 2024.
The airline brought in $7.4 billion in operating revenues from April to June 2024, but the $367 million it took in in profits was more than 46% less than its profit during the same period in 2023, according to its second-quarter 2024 financial report .
Airline staff also expect its non-fuel operating costs, which include employees' salaries and aircraft maintenance, will increase around 11% to 13% in the next three months.
What is open seating on Southwest Airlines?
On a flight with open seating, passengers don't have assigned seats.
Where they sit largely depends on their place in the boarding queue: Those boarding in Group A get the best choice of seats. After Group B, those who board in Group C usually are limited to middle seats and little to no overhead space for carry-ons.
Southwest's open seating policy was introduced with the airline's founding in 1971. Back then, the seating was first come, first served. The boarding groups began after a 2006 experiment with assigned seating revealed customers' frustrations with the first come, first served approach.
Does Southwest do redeyes?
Besides ending open seating, Southwest announced Thursday that it would begin offering redeye flights that leave at night and arrive the next morning.
Southwest's first redeyes include a nonstop Phoenix-Baltimore flight, which will begin flying on Feb. 13, 2025. The flight leaves Sky Harbor at 11:05 p.m. Arizona time and arrives in Baltimore at 5:10 a.m. Eastern time. We found fares from $236 one way, comparable to or slightly cheaper than other Southwest fares between the two cities.
Southwest will introduce four other redeye routes in February 2025 — Las Vegas-Baltimore, Las Vegas-Orlando, Los Angeles-Baltimore and Los Angeles-Nashville — with more possible in the future.
Will Southwest change its Bags Fly Free policy?
Some travel industry analysts, such as Steve and Paul Glenn of the Nebraska-based travel management company Executive Travel , speculate that Southwest will eventually change its checked bag policy.
Right now, the airline allows each passenger to check their first two bags for free — a sharp contrast from competitors such as American Airlines, which recently changed its baggage policy to charge $40 for the first checked bag.
The Glenns forecasted in a June podcast that Southwest would reduce that to one free checked bag if its profitability doesn't improve.
When asked by The Republic if Southwest would change its baggage policy, a Southwest spokesperson said, "No additional changes forthcoming at this time."
