My Students

Can you imagine never being able to travel beyond the state you live in, or the city, or even your own neighborhood? Because of their economic conditions, over half of my students have never traveled any great distance.

Our school is comprised of over 80% African-American students that are living below the poverty level and in single parent homes.

Our building is located within a large urban school district in southwest Ohio. My class is a combination of special needs and general education students. Our school library is limited to just a few selections of magazines that would introduce them to other cultures and other places around the world. The students tend to gravitate to these magazines because of their thirst for adventure. Due to lack of exposure, my students struggle with the visualization required to fully understand non-fictional text. They also have a limited vocabulary as a result of their restricted experiences. The scoring proficiency on state assessments is consistently lower than expectation.

My Project

Time for Kids Magazines provide grade level appropriate articles with engaging photographs. By reading these articles, students are taken on a visual journey into other cultures around the world. Along with being introduced to new cultures, is an opportunity to acquaint my students with new vocabulary words associated with those cultures. The activities on the back of the magazines check the understanding of the words used within the articles.

I expect my students to substantially widen their vocabulary as a result of all the exciting reading.

By traveling around the world through Time for Kids Magazines, they will be exposed to a broad range of cultures and current events. It will enable them to expand their imagination beyond their neighborhoods and help them visualize elements within non-fictional text.
