Funded Sep 29, 2022Thank you so much for purchasing copies of Scholastic Math for my students. Not only has your donation contributed to increasing a literacy and math connnection in my classroom, but I have been able to share copies with English language learners in my school as well. All of the students who have been exposed to the Scholastic Math atricles have enjoyed the content and have been able to make connections to math in the real world.
As a math teacher, often there are topics that we just do not have time to study as in depthly as we would like. One such topic has been statistics. The monthy Scholastic articles feature reading and analyzing graphs. I am able to go beyond the curriculum using these articles in a way that students see the relevance and importance but are also enjoying the content in which it is being presented.
I am also able to use the Scholastic Math articles to differentiate within my class. I assign differeent articles to different groups of students based upon their abilities, areas of need or preferences. After the students complete the articles that are required, they can't wait to read the rest of the magazine. These magazines have helped build enthusiasm and interest in math in my classes. My students look forward to the arrival of the magazine each month.
Thank you once again for your donation. It is very much appreciated!
I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year!!!!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Williams
