District Wide Information

TeenTribune, TweenTribune, TTJunior & TTEspañol

TeenTribune, TweenTribune, TTJunior, and TTEspañol are daily news sites for students in grades 1-12.  The most compelling, relevant and interesing news for kids aged 8-18 are posted each day. Stories are selected by teens and tweens working closely with professional journalists. Students can comment upon these stories.

Unlike other news sites for kids, TeenTribune and TweenTribune are easy to use, updated daily and allow teens and tweens to participate in so many ways. But most importantly, these sites encourage teens and tweens to seek out news on a daily basis. Our democracy depends upon a well-informed public, so it's important to foster a daily news-reading habit at an early age.

I like how current events are available and geared for students at grade levels and in Spanish.  The Spanish version is a great opportunity for EL as well as Spanish classes.
