My students need Scholastic News in order to practice reading in order for them to become better readers. They also need Scholastic News to read articles pertaining to the current events in our world.

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 students live in Brooklyn. We are a small school, with approximately four hundred and fifty students. Our class has twenty-five students. Seventy-one percent of our school is entitled to free lunch due to living below the poverty line. I teach in a special education class with approximately forty percent of the class having special needs.
This class has a wonderful mix of personalities.
There are several students with severe behavioral challenges and other students who are so shy that making eye contact can be difficult. As a whole, we have a fantastic time in class. The students and teachers laugh a lot in class. We try to make learning fun. I am most proud of how the students interact with one another. At the beginning of the year, there were many verbal scuffles and mistreating one another. Now, I am proud to say that we coexist more as a family. The students are helpful with one another and everyone is treated with the respect and courtesy that they deserve. This environment is conducive for a wonderful learning atmosphere. Our students are learning, but our lack of materials hinders our progress.
My Project
Being a title One school (Below the poverty line) we do not have many materials, Scholastic News is such a wonderful material to enhance students' reading levels. It also enables the students to be more civic minded because they are learning about different events throughout the world.
We would like to use Scholastic News to raise our Special Education students' reading levels to bring the students into the sphere of success.
Please help us by donating the money we so desperately need to get a class set of these crucial magazines. Our students always love working with the articles and love to read about different events throughout the world.
More than three‑quarters of 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
