Bulletin

Standard 6: Objective 2 Use multiple resources to learn new words by relating them to known words and/or concepts.  

The bulletin is incorporated with the Environmental Print. The articles that the students bring in are going to be posted on the bulletin as the “Problem of the Day.” The teacher will decide daily which Environmental Print will go on the Bulletin. From the Bulletin, the students figure the problem in their Centers. Since the students rotate Centers, (work with different students each day at different Centers) they will be scored individually for the prize at the end of the month.

For example: The students might be studying a unit on probability, so you might encourage the students to bring in environmental print dealing with probability like the one below.

What is the probability that a man who does not eat fish may not be successful?

Beware the pushy
fish-eater

MEN who eat a lot of fish are driven by
ambition and the desire for success, British
researchers claim.
 
Seven in 10 men who
frequently eat canned tuna.
sardines, salmon, mackerel
or kippers admit to being
ambitious, and one in two
rate themselves as more
successful than others.
 
The study, commissioned
by John West Foods,
reveals they are also thin-
skinned types, with only 5
per cent of regular fish-
eaters saying they coped
well with criticism
compared with a quarter
of the non-fish eaters.
