I think that it is very important for my kiddos to be up to date on the current issues facing our country. The best way I have found to do this is by showing my older kids a 10 minute daily news program called CNN Student News.
You can stream the program straight from the internet, or use iTunes to download the daily podcast. It's simple to download: Open up your iTunes, go to the iTunes Store, type in CNN Student News, and download the current episode. It's completely free!
I recommend this program for all students 4th grade and above. It helps kids become more aware of their country and the events that are taking place each day.
I can not thank you enough for posting this! I had no idea this was out there and it is EXACTLY what I have been looking for to use with my 12 yo! I love your blog and I am so glad that I stumbled upon it!!
