Instead of a traditional book report, students in Ms. Jarvela’s 6th grade were asked to create a “Book in a Box”. They could choose any book of their choice and had to include 8 items that related to the book and a summary of the novel. The 6th graders excelled in their creativity of this final project and showcasing their individuality!
