Grant provides foundation for Draper Book Nook
March 2008
The
Mohonasen Foundation for Excellence granted teachers Kim Coelho and
Kim Brassard $2,500 to start a “Book Nook” at Draper Middle School.
The Draper Book Nook would be a place where teachers could go to
select books across different content areas and at different reading
levels for their students. For example, when a social studies
teacher is teaching a unit on Ancient Egypt, he or she can go to the
Book Nook to find a number of leveled readers on Egypt for students
to read in addition to their textbooks. These same books could be
used in their English Language Arts (ELA) classes as well.
Draper should be able to purchase hundreds of books with the
Foundation grant. The plan would be to keep adding to the Book Nook
library year after year.
