My Students

My favorite parts of teaching are the “Ah ha!” moments where a child’s face lights up as he/she finally understands a difficult concept or accomplishes something they once considered impossible. Every day is a grand learning adventure as my students and I explore our state curriculum using methods that bring science to life. We search for answers together, laugh together, create together, and, most of all, learn together.

My students are energetic, fun, and diverse.

Our school qualifies as a Title 1 school (which means that we are a lower income population) with about 39% of our students being in a minority groups. Unfortunately, this means that many of my students struggle with academics because they have other life concerns on their minds. However, it also means that these “Ah ha!” moments are even powerful and often more meaningful as I know that the things they are learning can have a great impact on improving their lives. It’s a joy to watch their enthusiasm, excitement, and growth each day, month, and year.

My Project

Science World magazines are colorful and full of up-to-date science content that is easy to connect to our required curriculum. A magazine subscription also comes with a variety of useful tools including videos, worksheets, and an online version students can access at home. To view a sample of this magazine, go to http://classroommagazines.scholastic.com/issues/2016-01-24/book#/4

Many of my students struggle with reading which makes it difficult to explore science topics.

Students of all reading abilities at my previous school loved to look through the magazines and were willing to read the articles to learn more because they were interesting and relevant. Hesitant readers were able to watch the videos and interact with the class before and after reading articles to help them gain motivation as well as better understand what they read and the curriculum.

By donating to this project, you will be providing my students with a class set of magazines which will be a valuable tool to help them improve their reading skills and, as a result, their education.
