My Project

The books I am requesting are among the most asked for books in my 6th grade reading classroom. Graphic novels are the first to get checked out in my room, so adding more to my collection sounds wonderful. And Percy Jackson is one of my go to series for those students who say they just don’t like to read! But reading in a comfy seat is more fun than reading in an uncomfortable one, so I added cushions and a fun chair to my list, too, to ensure that students have an enjoyable time in my class.
