My Students

I co-teach in a monolingual ICT third grade classroom. Most of our students are first generation American students, mostly Asian American.

In our classroom, we try to foster a love for learning about different cultures and caring about their community and world.

My Project

Each year, my students enjoy reading about current events happening in their world. Scholastic News is a weekly magazine that is written for kids with this in mind. Scholastic News is offered online so we as a class can read and discuss articles and view videos together. They are also provided with their own copy that they refer to and read on their own.

Reading and sharing articles in Scholastic News about relevant current events helps to promote and foster cultural understanding and personal growth.

It's interactivity, leveled reading articles, and comprehension questions provide my students with materials that help them enjoy reading and learning.
