TFK!

I remember when I was little and my 3rd grade teacher gave us a magazine every month that we could read to our hearts content about everything interesting around the world! That magazine was Time For Kids. I loved reading TFK because it gave me a look at what was happening in science and medicine, politics, nations around the world, what was going on in the oceans, and anything else that i might want to know about in a way that a child could understand. Time For Kids is a magazine (and now also a website) designed for children to learn about what is happening around the world in a manner that they can understand and get excited about. It is produced by Time Magazine and I have found can be a wonderful tool in the classroom. TFK is set up to work in grades K-6th and is separated into appropriate reading levels for these ages.

After thinking about what good TFK might do in a classroom, I thought about other magazines that might be helpful as well and took a look at the kids' websites as well. Here are some very interesting links that you might find useful!
