 * === curriculum for the year ===
 * === discipline policies ===
 * === stories about your students ===
 * === a poem, reading list, crosswords, math games, etc. ===
 * ===upcoming field trips===
 * ===calendar===
 * ===**curricular area tips / study skills**===
 * === Tailor it for a particular grade level and/or subject area and be creative. You must include word art, an inserted photo, and a graphic from clip art. Have fun with this and again, think about the future and actually creating a 4-season or semester newsletter for students and their families! ===
