Nathan has provided us with a great resource of online articles for our classrooms. We now have a subscription to Cobblestone Online, a database of archived articles from the magazines Appleseeds, CAChronicles, Calliope, Classical Calliope, Cobblestone, Dig, Face, Footsteps, and Odyssey. These are entertaining and educational, ad-free kids' magazines. There are great articles and stories that are available for you to pull up on your computer, which you can print out. If you are really enamored with any of the articles, you can order the issue of the magazine it first appeared in (one or a class set). Students can also submit their own work, to be published if chosen. This is a fine resource for expanding your social studies or science curriculum with literature. Or even to give you more reading material for reading class, fiction and non-fiction.
There will be a introduction to Cobblestone Online during our January inservice meeting. You will get account information and user name and password at that time.
