A small hidden gem in the heart of a busy neighborhood describes my school. My students are economically disadvantaged but academically work harder than most students their age. Our classroom is our safe haven-a place where students are guaranteed a loving teacher, a place where they can learn without hesitation, a differentiated learning approach, the freedom to be themselves and to be safe and welcome.
For my students, our classroom is a comfort zone, a place where the magic happens.
They are not the same people in June as they are in September. They take pride in this "home away from home" learning environment, and it makes them love to come to school every day. (We often win for most days of perfect attendance!)
My Project
The subscription to Scholastic magazines, will give my students a first hand look at what is happening in the world around them. They will get to experience current events, even at a young age, and learn about what is happening in other parts of the world. The Science Spin magazine will help them learn about Science, while giving them ideas and experiments to do at home.In addition to being a resource for learning, students will be able to take the magazines home and reread them with family members over and over.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
