Recently, we embarked on a project centered around current events using TIME magazine articles. The moment my students first encountered the vibrant visuals and engaging stories, their eyes lit up with curiosity. It was heartwarming to see them eagerly discussing the articles, asking insightful questions, and expressing their thoughts on the world around them. This resource has not only enhanced their reading skills but has also ignited a passion for writing. They have been crafting their own articles, drawing inspiration from what they've read, and showcasing their understanding in creative ways.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, our next steps involve a deeper exploration of the themes presented in the articles. Students will be working in groups to research related topics, culminating in a presentation that connects their findings to broader societal issues. This project aims to foster collaboration, critical thinking, and public speaking skills. I cannot thank you enough for your support, which has made this learning journey possible. Your investment in our classroom is shaping not just better readers and writers, but informed, engaged citizens ready to make a difference in the world.","fullyFundedDate":1703714936180,"projectUrl":"project/reading-scientist/8099433/","projectTitle":"Reading Scientist!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Carroll","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5801113_orig.jpg?crop=1960,1960,x1034,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1602004262308","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5801113"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_96196","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":928,"numTeachers":60,"percentFrplEligible":73,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":58,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":86.8,"schoolId":96196,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Summer Creek Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Summer Creek Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/crowley-independent-school-district/summer-creek-middle-school/96196"}
