Peachy keen's Let's Face it Friday - Challenge #23 Back to School

For this challenge I made a bookmark. I thought it would be a great way to keep them interested in reading and be able to see how many books they have read through the year. Their teacher or parent can either punch a hole or place a small sticker on a number as they complete that number of books.

• Project must be new
