About my class

These Scholastic News magazines would open a new world of learning to the children through the use of nonfiction texts and comprehensive online resources. The magazines provide short and long articles, maps, graphs and other engaging cross-curricular reading experiences to boost students' excitement about learning and challenge each one to continue to grow through reading. It is important that my students have age appropriate, quality, nonfiction texts at their reading levels. Successful readers = excited readers. If reading materials are too challenging or not grade-level appropriate, students will not engage to learn. I have a few older copies of Scholastic News that my students cherish and share daily. It is exciting to watch seven year old children huddle together around one magazine to read about the latest NASA launch, tigers, polar bears and other interests of the world. I can only imagine their excitement to read and learn about the world if each one received their very own magazine every month!!
