Welcome to the 2013-2014 School Year

Welcome back to Elm for another great year of social studies.

Over the course of this school year we will be studying 20th Century U.S. history, the U.S. and Illinois constitutions, geography, and current events.

There is also an interesting, but not necessarily very accurate, Political Party Predictor (use at your own risk) at Channel One News.

You can also read more about politics over at Channel One (quite ad heavy)
or my current favorite source for student news, CNN Student News (neither of which is broadcasting quite yet).
