My students, unsurprisingly, struggle the most with nonfiction fiction texts. My students encounter significantly less nonfiction texts and need more access to them. I am excited to use the class subscription of Time Magazine for my students to read independently, to use for whole class reading comprehension lessons, and for writing as mentor texts as well. I am preparing my students to become adults in the not so distant future, and I want them to be well informed. The world is ever changing, and I want my students to be well prepared for the real world. My students will be faced with many issues, and I want to give them the skills they need in order to face those challenges. I'm hoping that regularly reading articles on current events, science, health, history, art, technology, business, and community will help students make well informed decisions about their life. I am also asking for 5 sets of headphones. I have a handful of students who can not afford them, and I would love to provide them for students in need. Thank you for you consideration.
