Creating Global Citizens With TIME

My students need a subscription to Time Magazine for Kids to become more mindful citizens.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gibbs's classroom raised $233

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Our school serves students in pre-k through eighth grade in Chicago. About 95% of our students are low income and receive free or reduced lunch and 38% of our students are English Language Learners.

This year I have a wonderful group of fourth graders who are excited and ready to learn about the world around them.

We are fortunate to have students from all backgrounds in our classroom and you can regularly hear students teaching each other how to speak the different languages spoken in our classroom.

My Project

One of my jobs as a teacher is to make sure my students are achieving academically. A second and equally important aspect of my job is to help my students become the best citizens they can be both in our school and our community. To do this, students need to be exposed to what is happening in their world!

There is no doubt that our world is rapidly changing and my students are keenly aware of the issues facing them and their communities.

Our subscription to TIME Magazine will allow my students to access current events at not only an age but academically appropriate level. Integrating literacy and social studies will help build my students' literacy skills, as well as, help them grow into more mindful citizens.
