My Project

Due to lack of funding our students have been without Scholastic Magazine since 2021. The students LOVE reading the magazine and the digital activities that coincide with each issue! We would love to bring this literature back to our students to encourage their love for non-fiction reading! These magazine align with the Connecticut State Standards for reading, writing and social studies. These magazines will help the students learn about the world around them. It also shows them necessary skills for non-fiction writing in the classroom. This project supports an entire grade!
