My Project

I want my incoming students for the 2023-2024 school year to experience the joy of reading My Big World With Clifford, Let's Find Out, and Science Spin Scholastic magazines. They will learn about science, nature, holidays, and health through these magazines. My students will also be introduced to non-fiction features like headers, graphs, and captions. I will read the issue to them using our document camera and they will get their own copy to take home so they can reread it with their families.

You will provide my students with high-quality non-fiction magazines which will help them to become stronger readers while expanding their vocabularies and teaching them new facts.
