Class Newspaper & Word Study Games

Please note there are two posts today. The second post follows the photos of the word games.

Class Newspaper: A few Strawberry students came up with an idea to start a class newspaper this week. Due to the growing popularity of the idea we had a meeting today with interested students. The students shared ideas on how the paper would come together, and what roles would be needed. There is general agreement that a few students will head the management part of organizing and keeping track of who is doing what, and that any and all classmates interested may submit articles. The goal of the meeting today is to prepare the class for a student run project with teacher support along the way including filling the role as final editors before publishing.

Word Study: Students were introduced to word sort games today for the words this week. Photos of Spin and Win below:
