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

The news magazines and curriculum I'm requesting will significantly enhance both in-class and online learning experiences. They ignite passion, spark curiosity, and foster knowledge through engaging and enjoyable lessons.

Given the importance of this election year, providing subscriptions to Scholastic News and Time Magazine for my students is crucial.

Scholastic News offers timely, age-appropriate coverage of current events, helping students grasp complex political and social issues in an engaging manner. Time Magazine delivers in-depth analysis and diverse viewpoints on global events, fostering critical thinking and preparing students to be informed global citizens. Both publications also feature digital components such as virtual field trips, author interviews, and global explorations, which make current events more engaging and accessible.

Teachers Pay Teachers offers a wealth of differentiated curriculum resources designed to address the diverse needs of my students. This platform provides a wide range of materials, from lesson plans and worksheets to interactive activities and assessments, all tailored to various learning styles and abilities. By using Teachers Pay Teachers, I can customize instruction to better support each student's unique learning needs and help them achieve their full potential

These three resources will capture my students' interest, promote civic engagement, and enhance their literacy skills, all while making their fourth and fifth-grade year a joyous learning experience!
