Everyday, a student in our classroom is assigned to be Jensen's Journalist.  Their job is to write a short article about what took place in school that day.  The student is required to take notes throughout the day and write an article that evening.  The next day, they will have an opportunity to type up their article on the computer and post it to our weblog.  Students may also use a computer at home and either e-mail their article to Ms. Jensen or save it to a floppy disc, CD, or flash drive and upload to our weblog the next day.  This will give the students an opportunity to write and utilize technology.  Our Jensen's Journalist weblog will be updated often, so be sure to check back to read about life in fourth grade!
