My Project

I have used Scholastic News with my 6th graders for the past 2 years and they have loved them! Having students get involved in the news that is happening within this country and around the world.

Students need to know about the world around them, whether it is in their country or another country.

Keeping students interested in what goes on around them is extremely important. In this day and age, students need to be aware.

This Scholastic News Magazine is important and informational for my students. I know the students I have had in the past have really been engaged in reading them and getting to know more about other kids their age.
