About my class

Through the inclusion of a weekly and engaging Scholastic News subscription for each of my students, I will significantly enhance their abilities to read and understand informational text. In addition, this high-interest and current resource will also provide practice and exposure to other skill-building activities in reading, such as listening, speaking, and writing. Scholastic News also has an online component, including graphics, videos, and quizzes that the students will be able to access and view on their Chromebooks here at school, thanks to the priority that our district has placed on providing Chromebooks for each student so that all have equal access to technology. A Scholastic News subscription will broaden my students' knowledge base of news and current events occurring around the world, and it will excite and stimulate their interests about our amazing country and the world beyond! Additionally, the content, depending upon the topic of each article, will build vocabulary and will support our core curriculum in science and social studies. The News will also help my students make meaningful connections between subject areas, and it will motivate my students' desire to learn more! It will also foster that vital home-school connection through communication and discussion with family about what we are learning here at school.
