My Project

I absolutely love my students because they are curious, eager to learn, and full of energy!

Each day, they bring a fresh perspective to the classroom, and their excitement to explore new topics is contagious.

The Scholastic News articles I’m requesting for my students will make a huge difference in their learning by giving them access to engaging, age-appropriate nonfiction content. These articles will help develop their reading comprehension skills, build vocabulary, and encourage critical thinking as they connect real-world events to the lessons they’re learning in class. My goal for this project is to foster a love of reading and curiosity about the world around them.

What makes my students special is their unique ability to ask thoughtful questions and explore ideas beyond their years, and with these resources, they’ll be empowered to grow even more as lifelong learners.
