Dear Readers

Hey, do you want to know what the biggest story of the year will be?

Sorry, we don't know. At TIME FOR KIDS, we have no idea what major events we will be reporting in a few weeks, or even in a few hours. That's the most exciting thing about working here! TFK journalists and our partners at TIME stand ready to bring you the news as soon as it happens.

Every day, you'll find more stories, games and photos at timeforkids.com/kids. In a few weeks, we'll introduce our new team of TFK Kid Reporters. They will report and write stories from a kid's point of view.

TFK is here to help you connect what you learn in school with what's happening around the globe. Write or e-mail us at the addresses below to tell us how we're doing. We can't wait to hear from you.
