Researching government topics for the classroom on the Colorado Council for the Social Studies website

"I just wanted to drop you a quick message to let you know how much I appreciate the information and stuff you have on your site: http://cosocialstudies.org/links.php  I've been doing research on different government topics to teach my class and I'm going to borrow from your page so I just wanted to say thanks. This is actually my first year teaching so I
really appreciate finding good stuff since I'm starting from scratch. I found a really great page on the different branches of government:
http://www.onlinecriminaljusticedegree.com/resources/justice-and-the-government/

"It's been super-helpful, it's such a comprehensive guide and it has a lot of links that are helpful for the classroom. It would be a great addition to your social studies links page, and I'm sure it would help a lot of other teachers, and students too!"
Regards,
Taylor Diaz
