JSB Today
Students in the 5th and 6th grades take a class in Journalism. Journalism students are responsible for our school newspaper, JSB Today.Students practice writing various types of articles for publication, including: current events, interviews, editorials, and reviews. On Friday mornings, students have an editorial meeting at the beginning of class to discuss upcoming articles and leads, and to review their work. They also have an opportunity to submit new ideas for upcoming newspapers.
They also have an opportunity to submit new ideas for upcoming newspapers. Each newspaper is student written and produced, and each student is responsible for his or her own work. Time management and organization are key factors to the success of this class. Students work independently and interdependently as needed. Through journalism, students reinforce writing and editorial skills, organizational skills, and technology skills such as word processing, scanning, and layout.

Finally, you might have noticed the trees on the back wall of the library. If so, you may have noticed that they are covered in leaves, flowers, snowflakes, birds, butterflies, frogs, and worms. The students have worked very hard reading and earning these items for the tree. When a student ears ten Book Club points and becomes a Book Club Member, he or she gets to put a green leaf on the tree with their name on it! Earn twenty points and you get to put a maple leaf on the tree. Earn thirty points and you get to put a flower on the tree. Earn forty points and you get to put an apple on the tree. Earn fifty points and you get a snowflake for the tree. We want our tree to grow bigger and better. With the help of our wonderful, hard-working students, we know our tree will grow!
