Every article you post needs its own title. It’s also a good idea to use clip art and graphics to illustrate themes, activities, or events. When you don’t have enough text, fill empty spaces with graphics or classroom photos. Keep the tone simple and positive. Occasionally you might need to remind parents about classroom rules. First, choose a short title or theme for your newsletter — something like "Class News," or “Back to School.” Then, pick a full title for your newsletter — for example, "Ms. Stahl’s Classroom Newsletter." If you’d like, you can also add a subtitle, volume number, and date for your newsletter. Use the body of your newsletter to keep parents apprised of major assignments and class events, as well as any school district news. Provide explanations of how projects and daily work conform to the state standards. You might also want to include the week's spelling words, test alerts, and any upcoming events such as field trips or special school events. A newsletter also can extend classroom learning. Give students experience in writing for an audience by having them write articles describing class projects. Ask children to help you choose the colors of your newsletter, pick out clip art, put together story ideas, write and edit articles, and distribute the newsletter.
