Extra, Extra Read All About It



Fourth graders made meaningful, real-world connections during our reading instruction this week.  They related the concept of main idea to the headlines of newspaper articles.  After viewing different examples of newspapers and magazines, they put on their journalists hats and created their very own newspaper articles using information from the text.  Check out the picture page to see some final products!
