Funded Sep 5, 2016Thank you so much for your generosity in helping our classroom get Scholastic News for the 2016-2017 school year. My students are avid readers, and are enjoying and learning from the various informational articles that can be applied to their own lives and the real world. These articles are a great way to make connections to our own lives, and they can see themselves in the various things and places they read about. They enjoy learning applying what they have just learned, and sharing the information with their peers and families. They have practiced reading fluency, understanding various concepts, and writing about the things they find interesting. They are excited each week when the magazines arrive, and have become more aware about the cultures and current events around them.
Thanks for allowing our students to have an opportunity to move away from our usual curriculum of books and tests, and get fully engaged into reading and writing with Scholastic News.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Lao
