Tween Tribune

Today in computers, we explored a new website called Tween Tribune. It is a site with news articles tailored for children! The articles lead to some very interesting conversations. It can be accessed at tweentribune.com

It is accessible from any internet connection.

In the future, each of the students will create a login and be able to comment on the articles. In this way, the class will be learning about current events and practicing writing opinions. In fifth grade, all students will be writing a persuasive essay for the state test. This website is a great way for your child to get a head start on persuasive writing
