My Project

Every year, my class of three and four-year-olds discover the world around them. The best way to do this is with a monthly subscription to the "My Big World with Clifford," Scholastic magazine. One of their favorite parts of the series is when they get to engage with Clifford, a fun and easily relatable character for pre-schoolers. Every issue of the magazine is different and colorful, offering monthly concepts and new stories for my kids to interact with.

Help me to provide my students with an effective and unique form of literature, sure to support their learning in several necessary areas such as math, science, and social/emotional development.

As a bonus, these magazines support and strengthen in-class teachings with home life. Providing folders for my students to hold their magazines and organize their schoolwork would be very helpful for them when they go home and share what they read with their families. With some help, my kids could learn about the big world ahead of them one magazine at a time.
