My students love to read about current events. Scholastic News provides students with the appropriate content level while keeping them current on world events.
This year I am teaching a second/third grade combination class.
I am really looking forward to the challenge of teaching a combo class. I know this year will be fabulous as I taught second grade this last year and will have many of the same students as third graders. We will be able to start the year off with a bang since so many of my students will already know what is expected of them.
My Project
My students need 12 copies of Grade Two Scholastic News and 12 copies of Grade Three Scholastic News. We will read the magazines in class and then send the magazines home for homework. Students can then share articles with their parents. Students will be responsible for the content that is presented in the magazine and will be required to answer questions and engage in discussions based on the context of the articles.
Currently the big focus in reading is to provide non-fiction text.
This subscription will allow my students to keep current and to be immersed in nofiction stories. Students will be reading, responding, and discussing, to mention a few skills they will be working on each week in school and at home.
More than half of students from low‑income households
