Inquiring Minds Want to Read About Science

My students need non-fiction reading resources (books and magazines) that address our science standards while supporting their developing reading skills.

My Students

No two days are the same in my classroom! My goals as a teacher are to engage students in meaningful discussions, help them set and meet personal learning goals, and develop life long learners.

My second grade classroom is an interactive environment where all students are encouraged to succeed.

My students know the importance of perseverance and problem-solving. We spend a significant amount of time reading and interacting with manipulatives. Students can often be found working together to support each other. My classroom is composed of a diverse group of learners. Students come from a variety of families and backgrounds. As a Title I school, approximately 65% of students qualify for free and reduced lunch. I have students who receive extra support for language acquisition from our English Language program, reading and math instruction from special education certified teachers, and students who get additional academic support from our Title I teachers.

My Project

My district's adopted reading and science texts are outdated. Many of the non-fiction readings available to my students are no longer relevant or engaging. Bringing more non-fiction reading into my classroom will support my students' reading achievement and will allow for integrated units of study, combining science and reading. I'm asking for Science Spin magazine as a supplemental science reader that students can take home to re-read after we have read each issue in class. Many of my students lack sufficient reading materials at home and this magazine will support the at-home reading program I have established for my students. The non-fiction science books will help my students meet the Common Core informational reading standards and the national science standards. These books also support the learning opportunities my students experience with our science kits we received last year from DonorsChoose.

"The most successful way to improve the reading achievement of low-income children is to increase their access to print," (Newman, Sanford, et al., 2000).

These books and magazines will positively impact each of my students, providing meaningful reading opportunities at home and school. Source: Newman, Sanford, et al. (2000). American’s Child Care Crisis: A Crime Prevention Tragedy; Fight Crime: Invest in Kids.
