Let's blow this up!
“We are going to blow things up,” I said to my class. Their eyes lit up and even the most sullen of my middle school students looked up from the phones they thought I couldn’t see. I’m sure they were thinking explosions, but I meant inflatables, giant inflatable structures.

Scrap Attack
My sister and I grew up in a household with two educator parents; our mom started as a special education teacher and, by the time she retired, was an autism consultant and a low vision consultant. Our dad was a school psychologist for over 35 years. As you can imagine, dinner table discussions revolved largely around LEARNING and KIDS, and something must have rubbed off, because my sister and I both ended up becoming educators and then moms! I (Lindsey) became a special education teacher and a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with 3 kids of my own, and my sister Kristin is a college chemistry instructor with 2 kids. We both spent years studying and researching the ways in which people learn and master difficult skills and have applied those lessons both to our young children and to our students.

Prepared To Inspire
Prepared to Inspire At the end of the school year when we have exhausted all of our energy and strength, there is nothing more exciting than preparing our classrooms for the excitement that lies ahead. After having a few summer months off to recuperate from giving everything inside us to our children, it is a joy to take the scissors to cut out the many different patterns, words, letters, and pictures of all the knowledge we plan to teach the following year.

Meant To Be
When I first started working for the school district, I had no idea what I was getting into. I’d been laid off for the first time about a month earlier, and I was just trying to get a new job. I got hired to be a teaching assistant for the junior high class for the at-risk and state custody program in the school district. It was going to be more of a transitional job, and I was only planning on being there until I could find a ‘real’ job. I had been a nanny before, so I knew I could work with kids. I thought I was ready.

English MCQs
Introduction Multiple choice questions or popularly known as MCQs are a popular method of testing a student’s knowledge and understanding of a subject. The most prominent features of an MCQ is the scope of providing multiple options to the students to choose from, which on one hand gives them the chance to exercise on their memory while on the other hand helping them in the process. Objectivity is key in answering MCQs. Therefore, in information-based subjects and language learning, the use of MCQ to assess the students’ progress is unparalleled. This testing method is less time-consuming yet offers a greater amount of learning content to be covered.
