My Students
Our school is a Title I school where most of the students participate in a free or reduced-price lunch program. Many are academically at risk and come from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Several struggle with absences and the desire to come to school. I want to help change that! I want kids to be excited about what they are learning and make connections with their lives outside of school.
Although my students are faced with life's hardships, they have good hearts and inspire me!
My goal is to help students realize that science is not just something that happens at school, but it is all around them. I truly believe the best way to do that is through hands-on-learning. My kids learn best through doing. When I mention there is a lab coming up, students get excited. I have heard the statement, "I wish we could do this more often" over and over from different students. I am always looking for ways to turn what they are learning into a hands-on-experience to make it relevant to their everyday lives and make new connections. This can, however, be a struggle when a department budget is nonexistent for over 300 students.
My Project
A classroom subscription to Scholastic ScienceWorld would help students strengthen their literacy skills and engage them in real-world science concepts. Students will:
• Read about recent discoveries in every scientific domain
• Gain a deeper understanding of STEM topics and careers
• Apply language arts skills to scientific texts
• Increase science and technical vocabulary
• Enhance competency in scientific reasoning, methods, and observations
• Analyze real-world data from diagrams, charts and graphs
• Plan and conduct scientific inquiry
• Engage in the engineering design process
With these magazines I can help all students—including striving learners and English-language learners—succeed in building literacy through engaging content, well-rounded cross-curricular lessons, age-appropriate materials, and differentiated reading levels.
More than half of students from low‑income households
