The day the first issue arrived, there was an immediate shift in our morning routine. My students were thrilled to have their own \"grown-up\" news magazines to explore, and the vibrant photography instantly sparked a dozen different questions about the world around them.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, we are working hard on moving beyond simple stories and diving into informational texts. Scholastic News provides the perfect bridge. Because the articles are written specifically for their age group, my students feel empowered to discuss complex topics.\r\n\r\nBeyond the physical magazines, the digital resources you funded have been a game-changer. We have been using the \"behind-the-scenes\" videos on our interactive whiteboard, which helps bring the vocabulary to life for my visual learners and English Language Learners. It has turned our reading block into an interactive experience that they look forward to every week.\r\n\r\nYou haven't just provided paper and ink; you've provided a tool that helps my students see themselves as global citizens. They are learning to cite evidence, debate respectfully, and stay informed about the world they will one day lead.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in their curiosity and their future.","fullyFundedDate":1618532767592,"projectUrl":"project/a-world-full-of-knowledge/5333732/","projectTitle":"A World Full of Knowledge","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stanley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2084424_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1499346675346","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2084424"},{"teacherId":4837935,"projectId":9627859,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for you generous donation of snacks for our kindergarten classroom.
