Reading Resources!

Scholastic News, Scholastic Science Spin and Time Magazine for Kids are a few new resources to our classroom! These will be offered weekly for your child to use, enjoy and to learn from! 

Last week we already accessed our first magazine from Scholastic News. It was called Fuzzy Friends. We learned about a cheetah and dog growing up together as friends. It connected to our discussion on friends and how we help one another in many ways. In addition to reading through the magazine together, there was a connected video to our text, as well as vocabulary exposure and a fun game to test your comprehension. When we were done, we wrote about it using a web connecting details to the main idea and to also take it to real world situations on how to be a friend at all times. 

Not only will be looking at the resources as a whole, students will also have independent computer access to this on their own in the classroom and to continue learning  and sharing at home!

All three web magazines were purchased by our Westwoods PTO. However, we are asking for a donation from you to payback the cost of this great learning opportunity. Friday your child brought home a small note with an envelope attached. We are asking each family to donate $15 for the school year that goes toward Scholastic Magazine, Science Spin, and Time Magazine for Kids. 

Please have all donations in by Sept. 28th. Thank you so much!
