My Students

I have been teaching at my urban elementary school for the past 23 years. Each year I am excited to have a new group of shining faces in fourth grade. This year will be different because we will begin our year with distance learning and hopefully move into a hybrid model in the fall or early winter. I always have a great group of students who are excited to learn. It is difficult at this time to ask parents to pay for additional resources especially since so many of them may be out of work due to the COVID Pandemic. Many people in our area are struggling due to the economy being affected by this pandemic. I have had 23 years of using Scholastic magazine, and my students especially liked using the digital resources during distance learning this past spring. Unfortunately, our PTO will not be able to fund the cost of our Scholastic magazine issues this year. I was hoping to receive funding to continue using this awesome magazine with my class.

My Project

Please help support my class by providing them with the joy of reading awesome Scholastic magazines for Grade 4. Scholastic magazines have fantastic non-fiction articles about current events and help students gain a global understanding of issues and events occuring in our world. It is a great resource to use for classroom discussions, comprehension, fluency, expressing opinions and sharing ideas. It will be especially helpful in discussing the presidential election this year.

My students will benefit from the digital magazines and resources Scholastic offers since we will using an on-line platform for school this year.

My students love reading the articles in this great magazine.
