Second graders have such a desire to learn and are at a very curious age! Scholastic News has some of the best videos and photos of places and events that are age-appropriate and get my students pumped! The articles are leveled which will help me engage students at all reading levels. There is so much happening in our world right now, and my students have questions that they can't wait to have answered! Every Monday morning, I see hands shoot up whenever I ask how their weekends went. There are always a handful of students who want to discuss current and world events that they saw on the news or overheard when family members were over for a visit. Scholastic News allows my students to participate and ask questions about current and world events with great visual supports from the magazine. The videos that go along with the stories activate prior knowledge which gets my students excited about learning!
