My Students

"Not all readers are leaders. But all leaders are readers." -- Harry S. Truman. Children become so excited when learning about their world. Science and Social Studies topics are a favorite for them.

My 2nd grade students are eager learners who reside in a low-income, culturally diverse suburban community.

At least 75% of the students in the school are on free or reduced lunch. Many families struggle to make ends meet. As a result, they have limited funds to provide resources in the home such as books and the Internet. Additionally, many families have never been more than a few miles outside the community. The outcome is that our students do not have the background knowledge or opportunity to learn about the world and how it is shaped by current events. None of these limiting factors have quenched the thirst of my students for knowledge of their world. They become completely engrossed in the science and social studies curriculum and are so excited to hear new information. The students need up-to-date, relevant informational text that is on their level and geared to their learning standards. Scholastic News and Science Spin fit that description perfectly.

My Project

These engaging news and science magazines are needed in my classroom to provide updated, informational reading materials in a kid-friendly manner. The magazines represent some of the best non-fiction text available for young students. Since they are geared to Common Core standards and based on specific grade levels, the content and reading levels will fit our classroom well. Additionally, since the students will be able to take the magazines home after school use, families will be able to add to their home libraries. This will help to grow the leaders of tomorrow.

My students will be excited to share the magazines at home.

As a result, learning experiences will be provided for the whole family. By reading these newspapers on a regular basis, students will learn to be consumers of current events who understand their world, helping them become responsible citizens. There are few learning materials that can have a lasting impact on a whole family like Scholastic News and Science Spin can provide. Please help put these materials in the hands of students.
