Reading Adventures!

Help me give my students graphic novels, classroom supplies and incentives to enhance their learning experience.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Jessica A. Sanchez's classroom raised $501

My Project

The fifth and sixth graders I teach need books they would like to read for enjoyment. These graphic novels will enhance our classroom library and the supplies will provide essentials that some students need to create their projects. Sometimes students need incentives to motivate them especially when they face so many challenges on a daily basis.

The students I teach need engaging books that will enhance our classroom library so they will want to read.

Reading should be an adventure that is fun and that is why these high-interest books are so essential to our library. After reading a book of the student's choice they will have a project to create about their book. They will share their project about the book they read and chose to the class inspiring others to read their book. The incentives are motivators for the students to keep them reading.

Many students I teach do not have access to books they would like to read at home. This is why it is essential to have a library at school that provides students with books of high interest. Reading takes you everywhere and it is the key to success. These materials will provide reading books and materials for the students I teach to help them reach academic success.
