Extra! Extra! We need Scholastic News!!

My students need weekly Scholastic News and Science Spin magazines to satisfy their growing curiosity of the world around them!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Leone-Ackerman's classroom raised $258

This project is fully funded

My Students

The new Common Core Standards require 40% of our reading to be in the Non-Fiction genre. We need more resources to satisfy that requirement!

We are a group of young, bright and curious 1st graders.

We attend a 2nd year charter school in North Florida. It seems as though we are insatiable when it comes to learning new things, especially when it has to do with real life! We LOVE to read, write, and explore the world around us.

My Project

My students will receive a new Scholastic News Magazine, and a Science Spin magazine each week. Each issue will have topics aligned to the Common Core State Standards. As a teacher, I have asked for a guide to help me plan effective lessons to maximize their growth!

Think back to your elementary days.

Do you remember the smell of the newsprint, and the weekly excitement that came with a new magazine? Scholastic News is STILL around, and just as effective as ever. My students need your support to reach their non-fiction requirements. These resources will drive these students to be inquisitive, and put them on a path to lifelong learning!
