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 Students

My students are scientists. My students are mathematicians. My students are readers. My students are authors. My students are explorers. My students make discoveries each and every day.

Our Science Academy provides our students with a fast-paced and rigorous STEM curriculum.

It is our mission to provide our students with a challenging and inquiry-based STEM curriculum to maximize individual potential and ensure that our students succeed in a global community. Our goal is to expose students to as many learning opportunities that will prepare them for the future as possible, all while bringing to the forefront ideas and concepts that they may not have considered before.

My Project

A key ingredient to helping students love to read is selecting texts that they connect to with their head and heart. Each issue of Scholastic Scope and Scholastic Junior magazine includes current topics that help students expand their horizons on how they view the world and how they can impact it.

While reading Scholastic magazines, students not only build the reading, writing, and critical thinking skills they need to succeed in school but also expand their outlook on the world and the potential they have to shape it through their experiences.

Whether it be non-fiction texts about the Syrian refugee crisis, historical texts on the Holocaust, or a narrative account from a teen with disabilities, Scope challenges students to push beyond what they know and consider what might be by learning about and accepting those with different circumstances than their own.
