My Students

My school is a large, urban middle school with grades 5 through 8 where over 14 different languages are spoken! My school community is growing stronger, but we don't get much in the way of funding and our families struggle to make ends meet.

My students are hard workers who want to succeed, but over two thirds of them are English Language Learners and three fourths are at least one grade level behind.

They get very excited learning about history and current events, but our school is low on quality resources to engage them.

My Project

My students love learning about current events, but need materials that are on their reading level. Time for Kids has articles and resources that are interesting, age-appropriate and can be used with our study of U.S. history.

My students will use Time for Kids weekly to explore current events and read quality nonfiction that is at their reading level.

I will use the articles to spark classroom discussions. Students will write in response to what they have read. In Social Studies, I will use the Time for Kids activities and teacher materials to help connect current events to past events in American history.
