Scholastic: The Scholastic, Inc. website contains articles for students, parents, and teachers. Miss Korhn uses articles from Scholastic regularly in class, CPR, and Flex. If your child is beginning a research project, this is a good initial site to use. It contains teen-friendly documents focusing on world and American history, science, the environment, and current events.
