“Thank you. Thank you for all that you have done for us this year. The children love, love writing and can’t wait to see what the next writing is every week. I hope some of them will continue to write in the summer and we will definitely write next year although I may be in a different grade next year. Again, thank you, thank you!”
- Patty Rosnick,Fredericksburg Academy

Resolution means something decided upon with firmness of purpose. With the newspaper in hand, encourage your students to resolve to become better readers in the coming year. Make reading enjoyable with word games, creative assignments and treasure hunts using the newspaper.
That's Entertainment!
Using the newspaper, have your students read about an entertainment event planned for your community.
For each event chosen by a student, have them write out a list of adjectives that might describe the entertainment.
Have them then compare the event to an event they have attended – in what ways are they similar?
Have them contrast the event with another event - in what ways are they different?
Have them predict what might happen at this event.
Have them evaluate how the event will be received and check back with the newspaper to see if it is reviewed.
Have them summarize the key aspects of the event.
Standards Link: Reading Comprehension: Use general strategies of the reading process to describe, compare, contrast, predict and evaluate content.
