Each issue introduces real-world topics in a way that is engaging, age-appropriate, and meaningful for my students. We've been using the articles to practice key reading skills such as identifying main ideas and details, making inferences, and expanding vocabulary. The magazines also spark important discussions about science, history, and current events—helping students make real-life connections and see how reading applies beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\n Reading now feels exciting and interactive. My students love when it's \"magazine day\"—they eagerly flip through the pages, point out interesting pictures, and talk with each other about what they've learned. We often read the articles together as a group, highlight key information, and answer comprehension questions. These hands-on activities have helped even my most reluctant readers participate with enthusiasm and confidence.\r\n\r\n Several of my students who typically shy away from longer books are especially drawn to the short, high-interest articles. One student who rarely engaged during reading now proudly volunteers to read aloud and share his thoughts with the class. It's been amazing to watch their curiosity grow with each new issue. Thanks to your generosity, my students are not only improving their reading skills—they're developing a genuine love for learning!","fullyFundedDate":1745556484031,"projectUrl":"project/bridging-learning-and-life-real-world/9271405/","projectTitle":"\"Bridging Learning and Life: Real-World Skills for the Future\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Emily Lee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1062119_orig.png?crop=1169,1170,x0,y1025&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745593045514","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/emily-mitchell"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_9535","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1375,"numTeachers":81,"percentFrplEligible":36,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":31,"percentWhite":53,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"17.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":51.9,"schoolId":9535,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Northwest Rankin Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Northwest Rankin Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/rankin-county-school-district/northwest-rankin-middle-school/9535"}
