Current events are part of my classroom’s daily end-of-the-day routine – I know many people like to do this in the morning though!  This is a great way to cover a bit of social studies, history, geography, science and more! Keep students informed on what is happening in the world (especially now more than ever).   Watch a short segment or read a news article together then fill out a current events comprehension worksheet! 

Here are alternative current event videos and article resources that are geared towards students/kids, and you may find that you like some of these better than others for your students – it all depends on your students; learning styles! I have use several different websites myself!

I have compiled a list – are there any that I didn’t mention? Let us know in the comments below! ??
