Help me give my students engaging nonfiction content weekly through Time for Kids magazines. Each student would have their own copy of rigorous and engaging text to help them sharpen their reading skills, while gaining social studies content.

Celebrating 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 live in an impoverished area of South Los Angeles. All of my students come from low-income families. We are a Title I school where ninety-nine percent of our students receive free meals. My students always try their best at everything and anything, despite the challenges that they face in their daily lives.
They are already not expected to have it as easy as others, but we learn that with hard work and consistency, they can be "unique" or different from the rest.
My students are so eager to learn that it makes coming to work easy!
My Project
These magazine will offer opportunities for my students to dive into print-rich text that they might not get to otherwise.
Time for Kids can lead to discussion and collaboration.
After we are done using them in class, students can read them at home with their families and have meaningful discussion about the world around them. Reading this magazine weekly will allow students to make real-world connections and foster a love of reading. Being able to use their own copies in class will allow for close reading through small groups, centers and independent practice.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
