Help me give my students engaging and relevant reading materials that spark curiosity and enhance literacy skills.

My Project

My 5th grade students are curious, compassionate, and full of energy. They love diving into research, supporting one another through group projects, and exploring new ideas about the world around them. Whether we’re discussing current events, reading about faraway places, or learning about our own city, they always bring a sense of wonder and enthusiasm to the classroom.

In today's fast-paced world, students need access to engaging and relevant reading materials that spark curiosity and enhance literacy skills.

Magazines provide a dynamic way for students to connect with real-world topics, develop reading comprehension, and build critical thinking skills. With your support, I aim to bring a variety of educational magazines into my classroom to create an enriching reading experience for all students.
