Preschool students experience journalism on World News Day
Students at a preschool in Georgia took on the role of reporters and conducted interviews during a hands-on event organized for World News Day.
Students at The Goddard School of Sugar Hill in Georgia served as junior journalists at a simulated news desk set up at the school to celebrate World News Day.
Young Students at the News Desk
Very young students at The Goddard School of Sugar Hill in Georgia participated in a hands-on newsroom event designed to foster curiosity and an appreciation for journalism.
The students set up their own newsroom, taking turns in the roles of anchors and interviewers, and conducted discussions with teachers, parents, and media professionals.
Curiosity-Driven Interviews
The children asked questions to learn what a journalist's typical day is like and what some things are that everyone should know.
A student named Kieran answered questions about journalism, stating that he knew what a newspaper was but had never read one before.
Hands-On Learning in Education
Emily Price, the school's educational director, stated that such hands-on events help students develop lifelong skills.
Price emphasized that natural inquiry and questioning are a child's path to learning, and instilling a sense of curiosity at an early age continues into later years.
Broad Scope of the Event
During the event, a student named Cohen pondered the question of why he loved his teacher so much and stated that he loved how she taught him things.
Sugar Hill hosted this meaningful event as one of approximately 700 Goddard schools nationwide celebrating World News Day.
