Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My 4th grade students are eager learners. They have a wide range of social-emotional and academic abilities.

Like many districts, we aren't sure what our year will look like, and I want to be prepared with some engaging materials that can be accessed both in school and at home.

Providing reading material that students enjoy is the main factor in getting kids to read. I want to make sure they have plenty of stories with a wide range of topics for them to choose from and for them to learn about.

Most of my students are from low-income families, and I know the pandemic has greatly impacted them. Being able to provide them with stimulating new reading material will engage them and push them further academically. The more they read, the better!

My Project

Scholastic magazines bring engaging and fun stories to my students. Storyworks provides awesome plays, fiction and nonfiction stories that my students love reading. I've tried other platforms and I always end up back at Scholastic and Storyworks because the kids always love them.

I've used Storyworks this past year remotely, and the kids loved reading the plays.

We used them for guided reading. We also use Scholastic magazines for social studies and science. I would love to use Storyworks Junior for my lower level kiddos because I feel that this will make them more excited to read since the stories are so wonderfully written.
