Endorsements for Cobblestone & Cricket ResourcesWe are proud that so many educators find resources from Cobblestone & Cricket to be a valuable addition to the classroom! Following are a few comments that we'd like to share: "Educators agree that American students need to do more informational reading in the elementary and middle grades. I know of no better way for schools to use some of the stimulus funds than to make sure their classrooms and libraries include the children's magazines published by the Carus Publishing Company." -Sandra Stotsky, professor of education reform, 21st Century Chair in teacher quality, University of Arkansas "Our goal is for all of our students to be lifelong readers and writers. Your magazines really fit that bill. Your magazines are very inviting and provide a springboard to further inquiry. They also provide a great opportunity for in-depth thinking and conversations. Kids love the magazines and get hooked by the featured articles. Teachers are thrilled with the online guides or support for the issues." -Mary Jo Fox, Olathe School District, Olathe, Kansas "As a social studies teacher I have always looked for ways to enrich my curriculum through materials beyond the text. Cobblestone has provided this for many years. My students not only use the magazine as part of class activities but read them during free time, talk excitedly about what they have read with classmates, and even ask to take the magazines home. When parents ask for gift ideas at holiday time I suggest a subscription. My own subscription is some of the best money I spend for my classroom." -Mary Ellen Sorensen, Massachusetts Council for the Social Studies Board of Directors & past president; Mass. DOE Framework Revision Panel; NCSS, National Standards Revision Committee & past board of directors Return to Stimulus Resources page |
