A table of contents should list headlines and page numbers. We practiced on our own first and then, with each one of us paired with a fourth-grader, we helped the younger students to highlight homonyms, discuss how they were used and then write their own sentences using the words.

Please say thank you For those of you who have business sponsors, please ask students to write short thank you notes or send a sample of a newspaper project before the year ends.
Business people enjoy letters from kids.
During the summer months, we call businesses and ask them to buy your newspapers for the next academic year. Sponsors who don't hear from their classrooms are disappointed and reluctant to be part of the program again. Please let them know that you value their contribution to your classroom.
