Magazine Literacy Bee

Dear interested readers,
We have contacted several local organizations with the hopes of finding recipients for the magazines our kindergarten class collects during our upcoming school drive. So far we are concentrating our efforts on those agencies that serve homeless kids and families. In contacting these places, we've discovered some important decisions we've had to make about our drive, such as exactly what age group we hope to serve, and how important the actual magazine content is. We hope to speak further with each organization soon to put a plan into action. On the other end, we are in the planning stages for our school magazine drive--how and where to advertise, and to what extent the kindergartners can be involved in the process--the creation of posters and flyers, delivering announcements at school assemblies, receiving and organizing donations, pasting labels, inserting thoughtful messages into delivered magazines, etc. etc. What an incredible opportunity my students have!
