Foster a Love for Reading in 6th Grade

Help me give my students supplies to enrich their reading experience! Flexible seating, white boards and dry erase markers and new graphic novels!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Mangseth's classroom raised $651

This project is fully funded

My Project

Flexible seating and new graphic novels would greatly benefit my 6th grade students by creating a more inviting and student-centered learning environment. With options of seating, students can choose where would help them stay focused and comfortable, encouraging longer and more engaged reading sessions. Adding graphic novels to our classroom library would also support diverse reading preferences and skill levels, especially for reluctant readers or English language learners. These visually rich stories help build comprehension, vocabulary, and a love for reading, making literature more accessible and enjoyable for all students.
