My Project

This project will allow our class to get bi weekly, up to date issues of Time for Kids. It is vital for students to be able to be able to look at news sources with a critical eye and to read information from writers and not just memes generated from AI. These magazines will help them form the habit of reading a real periodical and help raise awareness of a wider world.

TIME for KIDS provides students access to current events and would give our students a physical magazine they can read and take home!

We could also use them in discussions and in writing!

Thanks for considering this project!
