Reading Helps Your Mind Bloom!

Help me give my students high-interest graphic novels for my first grade classroom library.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Fischer's classroom raised $315

This project is fully funded

My Project

I’m lucky to have a classroom full of avid, high-energy readers who love to read—especially when the books are funny, exciting, and full of adventure! Our shelves are constantly empty because books fly off them faster than I can keep up!

Right now, my students are especially excited about titles like Mother Bruce, Mercy Watson, and the Power to Choose series.

These high-interest books keep them engaged, laughing, and most importantly—reading!

With your support, we’d love to add more of these beloved series to our classroom library to keep the excitement going and give every reader a chance to grab their favorite story.

Thank you so much for considering helping our readers grow!
