This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
"I never teach my students, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn."-Einstein
I need to add quality nonfiction reading material to my class. I want all my students to experience rich text. I would like your help.
TIME For Kids is a division magazine of TIME magazine that is produced especially for children.
It contains some national news, a "Cartoon of the Week", and other features in its weekly eight pages. I am looking to inspire my students to read and develop a love for reading. I really like living in this town. I feel an obligation to the people here to do a good job educating their children, so I am constantly looking for ways to motivate students to want to learn. Who knows, I may walk into one of their offices for help one day.
We all work with the children in this community to help them improve. Our little town reminds one of that little town in the movies; the one where everyone knows everyone, one another's parents, grandparents, and some great-grandparents.
My Project
In academic intervention, students are given the help they need. I have learned that many don't read because they haven't found any joy in reading. I want these TIME For Kids magazines, because when one-on-one reading, students get another great choice. When these magazines are added to our library, students can read them, discuss them in group, analyze them, and compare articles to one another. My room has seven paraprofessionals working with students all the time. I want the magazines with lessons for those small group assignments. Using rich text, they will be able to have meaningful lessons and rich conversations.
My class is "awesome".
Everything I put in here motivates somebody in this class. No one thing will make everybody happy, but variety is a large factor. Every child I have needs to find their place in this world; I am just making sure they have a big picture of it so they can make informed decisions.
