Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

When I was in elementary school, I looked forward to our Friday "Weekly Reader" time. The closest thing I have found to that is Scholastic News and Scholastic Storyworks.

Scholastic News is a combination of Informative and opinion articles that are aimed at students, while the Storyworks articles are a combination of fiction and nonfiction on topics that students enjoy reading about.

I have found that if you I can find materials that are written for students, that interest them, that are accessible to them... then they will enjoy reading. That is the key to hooking them!

I have been teaching for 29 years now, and Scholastic has become a part of my teaching experience. They change with the times, offering both print and digital options. They offer read-aloud options for struggling readers or students learning English. They offer extended learning opportunities to work on skills and comprehension on varied levels as well. They really help fill the gap that regular learning curriculums sometimes have.

That's why I am requesting 23 digital copies of 4-6 grade Scholastic News and Storyworks. Thank you for helping foster this love of learning and reading in my students.
