My Project

Each year, we need to renew our subscription to Time for Kids. This subscription gives students access to current events and holds their attention with colorful pictures, vocabulary, and worksheets. This fall, I will specifically focus on our election using Time for Kids articles.

Time for Kids helps students make connections to the world around them and engage them in current events.

Finally, the Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards will help make sure all students have the materials they need to succeed such as graphic organizers. TPT helps me provide students with additional support and activities related to our curriculum.
