Detailed Description:
Texas Studies Weekly now comes in 28 colorful weekly units that look and feel like real newspapers. The units arrive in your mailbox in four quarterly shipments, each shipment containing seven weekly curriculum newspapers.

Designed for the fourth-grader, this newspaper is standards-based, and covers 100% of Texas state standards for social studies! Each standard is documented in our state correlation guide so you don't have to worry about documenting anything.  We've already done that for you.  Thanks to our Texas teacher-authors.

Each student’s weekly newspaper contains a social studies lesson, a current event, or connection, that relates to the social studies content being presented, an article describing a geographical region of Texas, a biographical spotlight of a prominent Texas citizen, an article on Texas wildlife, ideas and instructions for fun arts and crafts projects, puzzles and games, a comic strip, and much more!

Your subscription of 10 or more copies includes a teacher supplement for each weekly newspaper. Each teacher supplement contains discussion questions, answers to crossword puzzles and other activities, a weekly assessment tool, and more.

Texas Studies Weekly is an ideal tool to help students practice skills in non-fiction reading and comprehension in preparation for Texas state testing. Texas Studies Weekly is also an ideal social studies teaching tool for homeschoolers!

As a bonus, any subscription to Texas Studies Weekly includes four quarterly issues of American Legacy Times, a roundup of national and world current events, digested especially with your students in mind! This will be especially helpful in following the 2008 presidential election with your students.
