Classroom News


Have something to share, show, and tell? Each morning our students have the opportunity to write their own headlines. This form of writing incorporates sentence structure, summarization, and spelling.
Later in the day, those who have written their messages read their news to the class. This offers the children practice with rereading their own writing, public speaking, and holds them accountable for correctness of word wall words.
They truly enjoy their moment to share and answer questions. We have learned so much about each child by listening to what is important to them. The classroom news makes for great dinner conversation. Ask who reported today!
