A news site that could be used at the elementary school level.

I feel that this site would be helpful when covering current events in an elementary or middle school classroom. The news articles are relevant, but easier to understand than news from a site such as CNN.com or BBCnews.com. The articles are divided into various topics to make navigation of the site simple. If the class was also using Diigo, students could bookmark their pages for other students to read as well.

This site keeps up-to-date news written for young readers. There is an integrated dictionary on every page (highlight the unfamiliar word, click the Dictionary button, and it will tell you what it means). Even the spam filter on the comments is kid friendly math (10+2=?).
