Mrs. J.'s classroom raised $307

Teach Them to Fish, and They Will Read a Book

My students need 40 copies of "Time for Kids" magazine for grades 4-6.

Mrs. J.
Grades 6-8

I work in a high need rural community with a large percent of English Language Learners. I work as an intervention teacher for grades 6-8, focusing on English Learners.

Most students in my class are without reading material at home. The 'Time for Kids' magazine has been engaging for the students. This year we are faced with a very limited budget plus declining enrollment. Access to this magazine is currently not possible.

I have used this magazine in the past to motivate reading, teach current events and play trivia games. The students are able to remember the stories and are eager to take the magazine home to share with their families.

You will help the students of my classes to engage in current events, improve their English skills and engage in conversation with their families at home. Where else can such a simple purchase impact the homes of 40 families on a regular bases for the better?

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
