My Students

My eager 2nd graders are like little sponges soaking up all the new things around them. They have a drive for questions and knowledge that keeps me busy and looking for new ideas and concepts to teach them.

Most of my students do not have any other educational opportunities outside of school, so they come to school very eager to learn.

They appreciate anything that I do for them. They are always eager and ready to dive into whatever we're learning.

My Project

My students do not get enough interaction and exposure to non-fiction text and articles that they enjoy reading. I am asking for subscriptions to Scholastic News magazine because the relatable and engaging articles will help my students build vocabulary and gain knowledge in areas that are relevant to their life today.

These Scholastic News magazines will help to build the reading skills and content area knowledge my second graders need most, with on-level non-fiction, ready-to-go lesson plans and online resources.

The engaging possibilities and lesson ideas are endless with these articles in their hands.

By supporting our project, you will help put current and relatable news in the hands of my students on a weekly basis.
