I teach second grade and I wanted my class to create a monthly school newspaper. I does not have to be anything fancy, I will print the finished product on grey copy paper. I would have groups of students working on different articles for the newspaper for example: school news, weather, "Get To Know The Teacher" (each month the students will interview a different teacher), homeroom classes could advertise their classroom, etc.... I will have a group of students edit the written material. I would only require the articles to be a paragraph or two so that it will not be so time consuming and there will only be 1 newspaper a month. If you have any ideas pleese let me know.

Topics for paragraphs:

Classroom Pets
Who's class
Where is it from?
What is it's name?

Field Trips

Recognizing Honor Roll students

Recognizing Birthdays

Mystery Teacher (interview the teacher but make it a mystery-have students put their guess on a sheet of paper and put it in the mystery box- pull a sheet and give the student who guesses the right teacher a prize)

Did you know?? (use the Guinness book of world records or another source)

School Activities

The Principal's Corner


Also...

Instead of an advertising section....students could pay 25 cents to say hi to a friend, make an announcement, say happy birthday, publish a poem, etc...

*Raise the money to help the PTA or to take your Newspaper Staff on a field trip to the local newspaper*


Much luck!!
