My Students

My students come from a very diversified community. Many do not have the resources to purchase reading materials or have access to them. Having these magazines available can help support their reading.

They are able to share their perspectives while respecting the views of others.

My Project

Since the beginning of this pandemic, their education and learning has been impacted negatively. With these magazines, students can keep up with current events and learn in a fun way.

If books/magazines could be readily accessible, especially for those from low-income families or parents that have lost their jobs, students can have some consistency in their reading life and continue to grow their love for reading and learn about the world around them.

Reading is such a big part of a child's learning and if I can foster their love for reading, I hope that I have been a positive influence in their lives.
