Give it 20 years and you’ll see these junior journalists on TV

In celebration of World News Day on Sept. 28, students at The Goddard School became “junior journalists,” putting their natural curiosity and question-asking skills into action.

At The Goddard School of Westfield in particular, students took part in a “Breaking News Photo Booth” activity and a “Kindness Caught on Camera” display, reporting on what they caught using a news anchor set and microphones.

As part of a nationwide celebration across nearly 700 Goddard Schools, students explored the importance of journalism through questions and hands-on activities.

Curiosity is at the heart of both early learning and journalism. For young children, asking questions is how they begin to understand the world around them, build confidence and make new discoveries.

That same spirit is central to Goddard’s inquiry-based learning approach, Wonder of Learning®, which encourages children to investigate ideas, follow their interests and learn through hands-on exploration. World News Day offers a natural opportunity to bring that approach to life while celebrating the curiosity shared by preschoolers and journalists alike.

The Goddard School serves almost 100,000 students from six weeks to six years old in 37 states and Washington, D.C. To learn more, visit GoddardSchool.com.
