Reporters

September 21, 2009

Dear Second Grade,

Beginning this week we will start reporters! Every Monday, six students will be picked to give a report on Friday. They include the Fun Reporter, Weather Reporter, Life Reporter, News Reporter, Poetry Reporter, and Vocabulary Reporter. Each reporter will report on their given topic.

Fun Reporter- gives reviews on movies, books, restaurants, museums, games, theme parks, etc. or may share up to three appropriate jokes

Weather Reporter- tells us the forecast for the weekend as well as the air quality and phase of the moon

Life Reporter- reports on any hobbies they may have. They can share photos, pictures they’ve drawn, stories they’ve written, trophies they’ve won, or anything else that has to do with their life

News Reporter- tells us what’s happening in the news. Some examples include new art exhibits at various museums, community festivals coming up, sport reports, etc. Parents, please make sure that the topics are age appropriate.

Poetry Reporter- reads us a poem they like or one that they wrote.

Vocabulary Reporter- tries to find a word that they think the class won’t know and shares it with us. The word may be in a different language. Students will be expected to say the word, give us 3 clues for guessing its definition, and use it in a sentence.

If you or your children have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us. However, the goal is to keep it fun and simple. Thank you and happy reporting!

Sincerely,


Mrs. Callanen & Mrs. Sederstrom
