My Project

The students that I teach are curious, and highly motivated learners.

My second-grade class consists of general education, special education, and ESL learners who love to learn when they are participating in real-world experiences that help to satisfy their natural curiosity.

Our Title I school believes that our population of students learn in diverse ways. Some students make the math science connection by reading books, while others love to get up and do something. When paired with content learned in the classroom, the collection of real data, experienced first-hand, is what will satisfy the thirst of all learners.

My Project

I intend to use Scholastic News and Science Spin to enhance the core curriculum. These magazines give interesting articles and activities on real-world current events. They pique students' interests and make them eager to read to learn more about the topics.

The magazines are consumable, so my students can read and write on them in a small group center. They will also be used at home, and accessed digitally during remote learning. I used these last year and the students looked forward to this center and the discussions that come from reading them.

I am excited this year to use the Scholastic Magazines as my students desire to know more about our world.
