Your contributions have allowed us to receive Scholastic News and Scholastic StoryWorks magazines, and these resources have quickly become a beloved part of our learning. Each issue brings current events, engaging stories, and thought-provoking articles that connect directly to what our students are learning in school. These magazines spark curiosity and help students see how what they learn in the classroom connects to the world around them.\r\n\r\nScholastic News provides age-appropriate nonfiction content that helps our fourth graders strengthen their reading comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking skills. Students enjoy exploring real-world topics, from science and history to social issues and culture, and discussing them together. The articles encourage meaningful conversation, helping students build confidence in expressing their thoughts and opinions while also learning to consider different perspectives.\r\n\r\nScholastic StoryWorks brings literature to life with captivating stories, plays, poems, and informational texts. Each issue provides opportunities for students to practice reading strategies, analyze characters, and deepen their understanding of story elements. The combination of fiction and nonfiction selections keeps students engaged and excited to read.

We took our viewfinders outside to observe nature, used them indoors to explore design and structure, and discussed how changing our perspective can help us think more creatively. The excitement on their faces as they held up their personalized viewfinders and shouted, \"Look what I found!\" was a great moment.\r\n\r\nThis activity will continue throughout the year as we connect it to future STEAM lessons. Each time we use the viewfinders, students are reminded that observation is the first step in innovation.
