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

I’m reaching out to request your support in providing my students with access to TIME for Kids, an award-winning magazine that brings real-world current events to life in an age-appropriate and engaging way.

I believe that teaching students about compassion, empathy, and global awareness is just as important as academics.

TIME for Kids offers insightful articles on people, cultures, and challenges from around the world—helping my students broaden their understanding and learn how to care deeply about others.

Each issue features engaging articles and stories, online tools, and instructional materials carefully crafted to fit classroom curricula.

Scholastic News Magazines meet the key anchor standards in reading, writing, and other content areas,

I want to expose my students to informational texts that offers them the opportunity to see life through real life experiences from people around the world. It is vital for students, given that these texts are an important means of building background knowledge, which in turn helps them learn how to be compassionate towards others. Students will be able to learn about the importance of being aware of things that are happening around the world and how they can make a difference by helping those in need. Throughout the year I give my students "brain breaks" and I have found that these book are a great resource for students. These books contain words of encouragement and kindness (Be Cool theme).

Squishmallows will be given out to those students who completed the summer reading challenge to keep them motivated throughout the year. Runts will be placed inside our classroom incentive gum-ball machine where students can take a spin for behavior, reading, etc.
