This project has allowed my students to engage more with informational texts that discuss real life issues impacting our students today. With colorful visuals, big titles, and relevant information, it allows students of all levels to engage in the text during lessons and feel confident with comprehension.
The Time For Kids subscription allows me to work on skills like identifying non-fiction text features, finding main idea and supporting details, identifying how authors use facts to support their opinions or stances, and building vocabulary.
My students love reading articles that talk about what they are currently experiencing. It supports comprehension when students have enough background knowledge to connect to the article. They feel confident while reading and comfortable having great discussions when we use the article for skill building. Thank you for deciding to support my classroom. My students could not be more thrilled!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Thomas

I am requesting an iPad, case and Apple Pencil to engage my students in more interactive, high quality, and engaging lessons during remote learning. One thing I have found overtime is that what we learn in school about how to teach the children we serve today, is very often outdated. The students that we serve now have grown up in a world that is driven my technology through means of the videos, social media, apps, and gaming platforms. I want to be able to provide them engaging content and material that brings interest into the socially relevant methods of today, while still laying the skill foundations of core subjects (ELA, MATH, Science, Social Studies). The iPad will allow me to create high quality videos to explain sustainability, informative memes that break down characters in literature, virtual posters, infograms and GIFs, run Zoom session with a shared screen I can write on similar to a whiteboard and social media like platforms to discuss socially relevant topics during our government unit. I am excited to bring students an educational experience that allows them to step more into the world of creativity and prepares them for the future jobs that they will be exploring.
