My Students

My students are learning in an urban, New York City public school. Our school strives to find the leader in all students. We try to instill personality characteristics to support the growth of their inner leader. Every child has different strengths and capabilities.

My Kindergarteners all care about one another and continually make progress as they grow into little scholars.

My 25 students are all unique. My students love to learn. Some of my students have special needs and benefit from different types of materials and modes of learning to help them succeed.

My Project

The Let's Find Out and Science Spin magazines provide non-fiction reading material to my students. We do not have many opportunities to have material on real-world content that is on their reading level. Usually their experience with non-fiction content is having a read aloud by a teacher and then a discussion amongst the students.

These magazines provide great information that is easily understood and readable by Kindergarteners.

The content is relatable and interesting to this age group. The Let's Find Out and Science Spin magazines will also expose my students to different vocabulary words which is important as well. The photographs are also very vibrant and appealing. There is also a great technology component that comes with this subscription that my students could utilize in school or at home.
