Telling Stories, and Traveling Through Time

Help me give my students opportunity to travel through time, learn about different cultures, and areas of the world through Story Works and Time for Kids. These publications build excitement for reading, critical thinking, and creativity among students.

My Project

From an interesting story to poems and plays, Storyworks and Time magazines are top notch! These magazines achieve this by engaging with contemporary issues, addressing real-world challenges, and exploring significant historical events.

Creative expression through Readers Theater (students are always excited to get a part), enable students to connect with texts from a character-driven perspective.

Students learn about historical figures and important events all in the play!

By having these magazines in the classroom, my students would have access to a variety of differentiated texts on a regular basis, which they can engage with independently, collaboratively with peers, or at home with their families.
