Many of our families are of a low socioeconomic status so it’s harder to buy these newer magazines for their kids. We know magazines are not as common now that kids are hooked on video games. I want to feed these kids and their desire to learn in and out of my classroom. They always take their learning home and tell their parents, but this would bring so much more of their learning to life. They always ask me “Ms. G, how do you know all of that”, and I want them to see how by reading. I’ve told my kids, I’m here to make them a better version of themselves and to one day become better than me. That can be pushed by these kids reading about the history of where we come from and the science of how it all works.
