Spanish-Language Magazines for Free and Voluntary Reading

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. TeKolste's classroom raised $380

This project is fully funded

My Project

The school year is well under way at our school, and we are excited to launch differentiated learning experiences for all of our diverse Spanish learners. We use a blended-learning model so that all students can receive small-group instruction at a level that is appropriate for them, while leveraging technology in order to allow each student to learn in a game-based way at their own pace. We need these magazines for our classroom.

Free and voluntary reading is a cornerstone to research-based vocabulary acquisition, and your donation will allow us to purchase leveled magazines in the Spanish language for our classroom library.

Students will never run out of things to learn because they will always have books, games, magazines, and music in Spanish at their fingertips. Muchas gracias for your generosity in remembering the students of our school!
