My Project
Each year my students make leaps and bounds in their journey of becoming readers. They will learn to embrace both fiction and nonfiction texts and will demonstrate a love of reading on daily basis.
An important next step in their reading journey is to experience reading about current events.
This will help them understand that reading serves a purpose beyond entertainment or learning academic information.
As my students become citizens of not only our school community but their home and neighborhood communities, I want them to understand that news sources help them become informed about the world around them. Publications such as Scholastic News will give them the introductory experience with reading to understand the world around them and see beyond their own small community.
