Perfect for restless travel days, family game nights, or anytime you want to get those wheels turning. The inspiration for the puzzle files is like most of my products - my children. I am constantly looking for ways and ideas to engage and challenge them with quality content that does not involve screens. When I started giving them puzzles and thinking challenges, I saw how their thinking patterns changed and improved with each one. Over time, they were able to find creative solutions even to difficult puzzles. I saw firsthand how from puzzle to puzzle they learned to look at and pay attention to even the small details that seemed completely peripheral. They don't always manage to reach the solution, but with guidance and hints, they eventually get there. This is where the idea for the puzzle files came from. Not a designed booklet, not a book with dozens of pages. A short file with 3 pages of puzzles (and a solutions page). Short and to the point. For an enjoyable quality time of engaging the mind and thinking skills. Much has been said about the growing exposure of our children to computer screens, television, and smartphones, and their impact on the quality of their lives at all levels: health, emotional, mental, and especially cognitive: decline in imagination and creative thinking, and attention and concentration difficulties. My puzzle files are a refreshment. So after months of trial, wondering, and error, I found the formula that combines an interesting activity that challenges children's minds at the critical age when brain cell development is particularly accelerated.

When I started my teaching career there was no such thing as Pinterest (gasp)! So, my bulletin boards were not as “pin-worthy” as the ones that teachers create today. However, these days, I’m so inspired by what teachers are creating in their classrooms. While many of the designs might feel out of our league, I’ve found that with a few simple tips, we all can turn drab bulletin boards into fab bulletin boards. Of course, to illustrate some of the ideas, I’m sharing some images from Pinterest! I hope that you’ll find that with very little creativity even the most drab bulletin boards can turn into fab displays in the classroom! Tip #1 – Have Fun with a Creative Background If you’re looking for an easy way to make your bulletin board super special, it may just be a matter of thinking outside of the box when it comes to backgrounds and borders. Just skip the paper and try these ideas instead: SOURCE SOURCE SOURCE SOURCE Tip #2 – Display Student Work With Pizzazz! I love a bulletin board that is all about student work. Celebrating students’ achievement and giving students a chance to showcase their learning is a great use of a bulletin board. So, dedicate a bulletin board just to student work. To make it especially “fab” create a system that makes it super easy to swap out students’ work all year long. SOURCE SOURCE SOURCE Tip #3 – Spread a Positive Message OK, here’s a way to design a bulletin board once and keep it up all year long (gotta love that). All you have to do is display a positive message on a bulletin board in the classroom. Check out these super fab bulletin boards for inspiration: SOURCE SOURCE SOURCE SOURCE I hope you've found a few easy ways to turn a drab bulletin board into a fab one! CHECK THIS OUT!

On September 15th Andrew Dlugan posted on his Six Minutes blog about The Ladder of Abstraction and the Public Speaker. He discussed S. I. Hayakawa’s concept that we think and communicate in varying degrees of abstraction ranging from the concrete (ground) to the abstract (sky). Andrew also mentioned Roy Peter Clark having discussed how you need to learn to climb up and down the ladder in his book Writing Tools: 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer. On the Poynter Institute web site Roy has an excellent 900-word article, Writing Tool #13: Show and Tell. He has another article cautioning writers to Beware the Ladder’s Middle Rungs. There is a related concept about organizing information called the Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom Pyramid. It was described by Clifford Stoll this way: “Data isn't information. ... Information, unlike data, is useful. While there’s a gulf between data and information, there’s a wide ocean between information and knowledge. What turns the gears in our brains isn't information, but ideas, inventions, and inspiration. Knowledge—not information—implies understanding. And beyond knowledge lies what we should be seeking: wisdom.” David Weinberger blogged about a problem with this hierarchy. Some also use more than four levels. In this presentation by Tim Donahue there is a fifth, understanding, added explicitly between knowledge and wisdom. An article by Steve Draper even has seven levels. I’ve used six levels when teaching internet research, and you can see another ladder version from that post shown below.
