My Students

Our school community serves an extremely diverse population. A significant number of our 600 students are on the free lunch program, and we have a small portion of families who would be considered affluent. Our students speak over 50 different languages!

Our school is a K-5 building.

Our district is an inclusion district, so we serve a population with students that have some significant learning challenges as well as some children with significant behavior disorders.

Our school is in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois. Due to lack of funding on the part of our state, we are always looking for ways to make up for the lack of funds available to our district.

My current class is filled with a diverse group of learners eager to learn about their world. They are avid readers who have a thirst for knowledge about current events in their world.

My Project

As my students become more aware of the happenings in the world around them, I would love to have the opportunity to provide them with current world news written in a format they can understand. Fifth graders love learning about the events occurring in the world around them but cannot always understand articles written for adults.

It is extremely important that students get factual information about events from a reliable source like TIME for Kids.

The articles in these magazines provide a connection to the real world for kids and also give a teacher great opportunities for class discussions about current events in their world.
