My Project

My students are interested in the world around them. They ask great questions and want to learn more about things that interest them. Even though they are inner city students and have limited resources, they have the drive and curiosity to want to learn about the world. Scholastic News is not only a safer way to explore current events, it is an excellent way to show students the possibilities about the world around them and inspire the curiosity in a safe media. Having this resource will show my students that they can make a difference and inspire others.
