Funded Aug 2, 2023I cannot thank donors enough for funding the purchase of the Scholastic magazines "Scope" and "Science World" magazines for Ryan Middle School Students. We use these magazines to promote literacy in several ways.
Our school has a reading intervention program called "Walk to Read" (WTR). We are the first middle school in district to implement this type of intervention for all of our students. The magazines have been a great addition to the program and used by many teachers in their lessons. For example, some teachers use the stories and accompanying videos to build vocabulary skills and background knowledge in their students. Other teachers and students love to act out the plays.
Our science and STEM teachers use the magazines to share current examples of science concepts in action. Students love learning about concepts in more depth and making the connection between things they hear about outside of school and what they are learning every day.
We really appreciate your contribution to the success of this school year!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Scanlon
