My Students

How can my students understand what they read without the necessary background? How can my students be contributing members of society when they don't know what is going in society? How can I help my students understand the world around them?

I teach 85 fifth grades at a Title One Distinguished elementary school in a rural county in Georgia.

My students represent various cultures, races, and backgrounds. There are many differences among my students, but one commonality they share is their desire to learn.

My Project

Many of my students need the necessary background knowledge in order to make connections to their world. Often times my students are not aware of current events that will effect them and their families. I would like to have copies of Time For Kids and Scholastic magazines in my classroom to help my students stay abreast with the current news. My students will also be exposed to interesting informational text (a focus with the new Common Core Standards).

How can you make a difference?

You can make a difference by donating to this project. You can give 85 children and their families current news, critical thinking skills, and the knowledge necessary for them to be successful in life.
