Magazines Help 3rd Graders Become Non-Fiction Experts!

Funded Sep 18, 2013

Thank you all so much for donating to our project! My students were so excited when I told them that there were some very nice people out there that had donated to our classroom so that we could get magazines to practice our non-fiction skills. They couldn't wait to start receiving magazines. Up until the first arrival, they were asking me every day when they would be arriving.

The love reading the magazines during Read to Self and Read to Someone time. It is one of their first picks. Their discussions with each other about the content is so wonderful to hear. In the coming weeks, we are going to begin practicing using these articles to answer questions similar to what would be on our standardized test. Using the magazines will make this preparation a little more fun!

Since receiving these magazines, my students are excited to read non-fiction. Before, when I would present non-fiction texts some of them would not be too thrilled due to the articles just being a printed out article. They get so excited every time we get a new magazine and they cannot wait to learn more from them!

Thank you once a again!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Wells
