The monthly current events unit for Canadian classrooms

Keeping up with current events is hard enough. Incorporating them into meaningful lessons is harder still. Fortunately, there is a group of teachers willing to do the work for you...

When I have kids in grade 4/5 wanting to know when the next issue is coming, even in December and June, that's when I know I have an excellent resource.
