Kind News

KIND News (Kids in Nature's Defense) is a colorful, four-page classroom newspaper, available in several age-appropriate editions, that addresses National Education Standards and incorporates lessons in all major subject areas. Each monthly issue features articles, puzzles, projects, celebrity interviews, and other activities that make learning fun. The subscription also includes KIND Teacher--a book of worksheets, posters, calendars, and teaching tips--as well as access to online lesson plans.

In addition to helping students master skills in language arts, math, and other subject areas, KIND News addressess schools' renewed focus on character education, making it an especially valuable resource to teachers. It encourages good character development by emphasizing humane and character concepts such as respect, kindness to people and animals, responsibility, good citizenship, and peaceful conflict resolution. A recent survey conducted by the Humane Society of the United States showed that nearly 85% of teachers think KIND News improves their student's treatment of one another.
