Kids Newsroom

Our classroom becomes a newsroom!

 Extra! Extra! Read all about it… In the Kids' Newsroom, our students learn the craft of journalism including investigative writing and research. Our classroom transforms into a working newsroom, complete with editorial staff, reporters, columnists and headline writers. Each student plays multiple roles and works together to publish their own newspaper with stories about their local school and community.

These reporters learn techniques for crafting news stories, writing persuasive editorial essays and interviewing news-makers. Students edit each other’s work, take photographs and publish their newspaper. Have an idea for a news story? Call our Kids’ Newsroom Hotline today!
