My Students

Are you a news junkie? Do you love reading Time magazine? My students are fascinated with the world around them and we ignite the spark of begin inspired by the world around them.

My 18 kindergarten students come from an extremely diverse background.

Our school is a high poverty, Title I school. The students in my class have been identified as "high-flyer's" in kindergarten and are eager learners. For these students, the TIME is now!

My Project

TIME For Kids builds reading and writing skills and will be easily integrated across my curriculum, including social studies, science and math. With your help, I will be able to take my students on trips the world, beginning in the Time for Kids magazine and ending where ever our imaginations lead us. Please consider giving my students a valuable gift - TIME.

My students need more TIME - Time to learn, Time to investigate, Time to research and Time to think.

Time for Kids magazines will provide my students with the opportunity to utilize their time more efficiently and effectively
