NEWSCAST PROJECT

FOR THE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS

The Elementary School students will be embarking in a new project during the second semester of this school year. This project is the perfect digital compliment to the Listening and Speaking part of our Language Arts Curriculum.

Each month, a grade will work on putting together a news cast that will encompass many aspects of our school life. This video will help student become aware of their social responsibility, and foster school pride and culture.

Consent forms will be sent home after the Thanksgiving holiday, and need to signed and return for students to participate.

Here is a small taste of what this project will look like:

O – Options - Both people suggest possible solution options, bringing forth as many ideas as possible.

S – Solutions - Both agree on a solution from the ideas that were suggested. IMPORTANT: make sure the option agreed to is safe, fair and will work for both people.
