My Project

It's never too early to start reading the news and becoming an informed citizen, but bringing news stories into the classroom feels like it can sometimes be a bit of a coin toss... Scholastic News has a knack for captivating students' interests with highly engaging articles while encouraging them to work on much-needed non-fiction reading skills such as analyzing and identifying key information and summarizing.

The donations to this project will greatly aid in sparking my students' curiosity and interest in current events, science, and social studies using articles that are written and targeted for their specific grade/age.

Scholastic news also comes with videos, lesson plans for teachers, and reading comprehension templates (both print and digital) for students. These resources will not only help promote critical thinking but will also aid students in deeper learning and understanding of the world around us.

This year, I have been using Scholastic News with my current 4th graders, and they love it. They get genuinely excited when we receive the latest issue, and they look forward to reading and learning about the contents of the magazine. We use Scholastic News (both print and digital) nearly every day, and I see that it's really helping my students with their reading abilities and skills. It's not easy to always capture students' interest and motivation in the classroom, but, for my students, just holding up the latest issue does just that. Now that's a resource I've got to keep around!
