Celebrating 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 Students
My first graders are eager to learn about the world around them. They come to school each day full of enthusiasm and genuinely love learning.
Our diverse class includes students from a variety of cultural and economic backgrounds.
Many come from homes where parents can't afford or simply don't know the importance of books, so it is important to me to provide an environment that is rich in literature so that students learn to love reading. I want my students to be lifelong learners, and reading is the best way!
My Project
I have used these Scholastic News in the past, and kids absolutely love them!! The topics are of high interest for children and always correspond to real world issues that are important for kids to learn. The subscription also includes online resources such as videos, printable worksheets, and skill-based games.
Scholastic News will expose students to rigorous and interesting nonfiction text that will spark their curiosity about the world around them.
The topics allow me to teach the nonfiction text standards using interesting materials. They always lead to engaging discussions and inspire students to find additional information about the various topics.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
