With these funds I will be able to provide my students with the opportunity to develop critical thinking skills with non-fiction stories to reach all learners. Many students only have the local news channel or newspaper to learn about local and global issues, which sometimes is above their level of understanding. Providing students with TIME For Kids will give students an additional resource at their level of understanding and expose them to real-world topics they would love to learn about.

It is TIME to help motivate students to read and be aware of real-world issues and promote social intelligence. This is a great resource and powerful teaching tool for students because it will build and encourage literacy in the classroom while integrating other academic areas such as social studies, science and math.

A class set of Time for Kids magazines will enhance students reading while integrating math, science, and social studies curriculum. This project will have a fun and positive impact on my students by engaging students with vivid writing and imagery that makes reading exciting for students. Each edition will engage them in critical thinking while touching on important Common Core Standards.

As of now a subscription to the weekly magazine is $6.46 per student.  I will be purchasing a class subscription of 30, which will cost approximately $200.
