Teachers from the Trenches: My students are learning about an online Newsletter program called LetterPop. http://letterpop.com/ Have you use this tool and if so can you share any examples. Or if not do you have a tool you use. The PDF of the actual assignment they are completing is below.

TECS 390 Students: Post your reflection , link to your project and tell what standards it meets.

I really enjoyed this activity. The school where I substitute at has a really nice newsletter the students take home with them each week. Now I can make one for my class, and I enjoyed that it was so easy to use.

My newsletter I created was called Paw Prints. I got the idea from when I went to middle school. We were the Leopard Cubs, so I based my newsletter off of made up information about the Leopard Cubs. This newsletter contained information about Inside Sports, Student Involvement, Physical Education, and a puzzle activity. This newsletter was directed for upper elementary. I wasn't exactly for sure what standards you wanted our newsletter to follow. However, I directed mine towards Physical Education standards, since the newsletter is mainly about physical education.
Content Standard: Active Participation
Standard 3: The student participates regularly in physical activity.
I loved the website letter pop, I will definitely use that in the future.
