The importance of play: how turning a problem into a game can foster creative problem-solving skills, a guest post by Candy James

Being a parent teaches you many things, none more so than these two sageries: long, difficult tasks do not get any easier with age, and problems rarely go away by themselves.

Take 5: Recent graphic novels reviews

I continue to mostly just want to read graphic novels. That works out well, because so do so many of the kids at school. So here are a few quick post-it note reviews of books I read this past week (and one book a student read).

Change Doesn’t Paws for Anyone: Growing Up with Katie the Catsitter, a guest post by Colleen AF Venable and Stephanie Yue
