My Project

My project is for a subscription to Scholastic News magazines. These magazines will provide my students with access to the latest current events and science topics in a kid friendly way. The students love reading about places they have never been to, fun and interesting animals, and articles about children their own age.

Real-world topics and real student engagement using fresh, high-interest texts, videos, and activities will fuel my students' curiosity!

The monthly magazines will be on the students' reading level and will increase their background knowledge about multiple topics. These subscriptions will provide the students with a multitude of educational texts throughout the school year covering a wide variety of topics which will also enhance student engagement. Your donation will help my students stay engaged in high-interest content delivered all year long—in print and online, digitally, as well.

Thank you for considering a donation. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!!
