Kindergarten is so much fun! Our students learn in many different ways using all of our senses and multiple intelligences. We use a wide range of techniques to help all the students succeed no matter what their level. Our students attend a Title l school. Most of the students come from families from a low socioeconomic status, with over 70% of our students receiving free lunch. Our school is also one of the most ethnically diverse schools in Brooklyn. Our school is a caring community of successful learners, which can be seen through collaborative student project based learning in and out of the classroom. Kindergarteners in our classes love to work with hands-on materials and have many different opportunities to practice a skill before it is mastered.
My Project
These magazines from Scholastic are always a hit with my students! Scholastic News brings kid-friendly current events into the classroom while building reading skills and content knowledge. They provide on-level non-fiction with ready to go lesson plans and online resources to build comprehension and vocabulary.
Not only do they provide engaging topics and resources, but my students will be able to take home and share their magazines with their families.
This will also facilitate the building of a home-to-school connection that is very much needed in our community. Reading opens so many doors to children! By funding this project you will be giving me the opportunity to open those doors for my students and the world around them.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
