You will also be given the opportunity to learn a little bit about the West Genesee Teachers' Association. The site is updated Monday through Friday throughout the school year. Students can read the day's top stories using Knowledge Tools, take a news quiz, write a letter to the editor, or ask a reporter a question. Teachers can access a daily lesson plan written in partnership with The Bank Street College of Education in New York City. Each lesson plan and the article it references can be printed out for classroom use.
Previous lessons are available in the archive.
Educators can also read the latest education news from the newspaper. Parents can join an online discussion, read a recent product review or participate with their children in the activities in the student section. In addition, visitors can browse Navigator, our list of recommended Web sites, access special news indexes on both current and historic events, or take a look back at a historic New York Times front page in the On This Day section. Our second graders in Oregon, WI would like to share information from around the world about the insects that you can find. We are going to write down the name of the insect, where we found it, a description of what it looks like, and any comments about the insect.
