Hello! I am a first grade teacher at an amazing public school in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. My students come to school eager and ready to learn--their desire to learn keeps me motivated to teach each and every day!
My students do not have access to print media on their reading level at home. They need to have access to a variety of reading material and also need to be able to read exciting, engaging information independently while at home.
I would like to purchase a subscription to Weekly Reader for each of my students. Weekly Reader is a weekly classroom news magazine that motivates kids to read! These magazines will promote literacy and give each child the opportunity to read a piece of print media in class and at home with his/her family. Issues cover a wide range of real-world topics kids love to learn about - and it's the best nonfiction text you'll find! Increased exposure to non-fiction topics dealing with science and social studies will help my students with reading comprehension.
Weekly Reader builds reading and writing skills and is easily integrated across your curriculum, including social studies, science and math.
To maximize your donation, I have requested a 1st grade subscription for each student in my classroom so they can take these weekly magazines home and share them with family members. Additionally I have also requested 15 2nd grade subscriptions for enrichment. Working in pairs I can use these magazines to provide challenging activities for all my students. We must always shoot for the moon and reach for the stars!
Please help support my eager learners by providing the requested funding to purchase these weekly magazines. Your generous donation will provide two weekly magazines for my 1st graders. We can't wait to check our mailboxes to see if we have mail!
