My Project

With the continued budget cuts to public education the school district did not renew the subscription to our online current events news. As with many students, my students do not get access to any real-world reading. They don't have knowledge of current events and things that impact the world around them.

Having access to Time for Kids will give them the ability to learn about things in the way adults do.

TFK will also provide more access to nonfiction text which is always an area 5th graders struggle. There are many new vocabulary words, text features, and new concepts in nonfiction that many students don't have access to on a regular basis. This magazine is presented in a way that is unique to most of my students, with the growing acceptance of online literature. It is presented as a newspaper and available for them to take home and share with their family's, encouraging enriched discussions.
