Winners in three grade categories will have their entries published in the March 6 NIE newspaper and will receive newspapers for their classrooms. Have students select an interesting ad from the classified pages and build an imaginary story around it. For instance, if an ad features a lost necklace, students can spin a yarn about how the jewelry was lost, its adventures along the way and how it was found. Winners in three age categories will have stories published and win newspapers. Two drawings from each grade will appear in the March 6 NIE newspaper.
Winners also receive bundles of newspapers on the day their drawings are printed.
One grand prize winner from each of the five contests will be selected. Use newspapers to teach in all subject areas instead of textbooks. Stack books in the hall or a corner of the classroom and use newspapers to teach everything from English and math to art and nutrition. Click on the schoolhouse logo.
