My Project

I am asking help to provide my 4th grade students with access to Scholastic News (written and digital). This will expose them to real world science and social studies articles.

My students will be given access to uplifting and thought provoking articles.

They will be able to engage in class discussions while increasing their reading ability with non-fiction articles. Most students come from low SES backgrounds and they hear negative news all the time. It would be great to be able to provide them with articles that are positive and uplifting while showing them the difference they can make in the world.
