Theresa Prudente A newspaper backpack is a very special new addition to the backpacks teachers are creating for their students to take home. It combines newspaper in education programs used in the classroom with the concept of the parent-school partnership. Backpacks offer an invitation for parents to become involved with their children's education in a positive, fun way. Using the newspaper as the focus for the backpack makes it an exciting experience for the children and their parents or guardians.
Children love using the newspaper in all subject areas and at every grade level.
It is fascinating and interesting for all. Following are lesson plans on two levels for students grades 1-5. Produced by Newsday Electronic Publishing.
