My Project

I know that having more diverse texts for my 6th grade readers at a variety of levels will enrich student reading and help students find greater academic success. The Scholastic News Magazine subscription will offer students current nonfiction articles about interesting topics that they can explore, but with the online access I can differentiate as needed for the variety of levels present in my 6th grade class. Additionally, I hope to meet the emotional needs of students by providing a variety of motivators to help boost confidence and relieve anxiety.
