October Current Event

A Close Look At Current Events


October is a current events month! We will be practicing together how to find articles from the links on the class blog (look under current event tab at the top of the blog) and how to write good questions for their current event sheets.  Students have been assigned dates to bring in their current events.  Current Events calendar will be coming home Friday, October 4.  During their own presentation, students should be prepared with the following information:

  • Tell the current event in your own words.
  • Complete a current event sheet according to the instructions in your homework folder.
  • Attach the article you chose.
Please carefully read the instructions and the grading rubric found in your homework folder in order to receive full credit. Just a reminder...If your students is using another source besides the sites on our blog (ex: DOGO, TFK, or Scholastic News) please check to make sure that articles are kid friendly and appropriate for young students.  Please no violent or graphic crimes and news. :) We still have many little tender hearts inside our classroom.

High fives to those students who have come prepared and excited to present their news!
